    Tips

    Pablo Picasso lived from 1959 to 1961 in Vauvenargues Castle, which is located about 14 kilometers east of Aix-en-Provence. The 15th-century castle is located on a hill above the village of Vauvenargues. Picasso bought the property at the age of 77. Vauvenargues Castle offered Picasso a special view of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the favorite motif of his role model Paul Cézanne. Although Picasso only lived there for a few years, the castle has a special significance: he and his last wife Jacqueline Rocque are buried in the castle garden. The castle was not open to the public for a long time, but was opened to visitors for the first time in 2009.
