The Château de Vauvenargues, where Pablo Picasso was buried in 1973 and his wife Jacqueline in 1986, is nestled on the steep slopes of a small valley. In Vauvenargues, concerned about their tranquility, the inhabitants of this tiny village located half an hour from Aix refused the foundation project imagined in Jacqueline's time. This gave birth to the Picasso Museum in Paris.

Small town with restaurants, bike rental and a castle. Picasso lived here until his death and is also buried there. Unfortunately not accessible.
