The former windmill in Le Tholonet was once rented by the painter Cézanne as a studio and storage space. The building is located directly on the "Route Cézanne," making it a perfect place to combine culture with road cycling.

The Bimont dam, also called the Bimont dam or the Rigaud dam, is an arch dam commissioned in 1952 in the town of Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde, in the Sainte-Victoire mountain, near Aix-en-Provence. It is fed mainly by water from the west branch of the Canal de Provence, which is brought in via an underground gallery and drains off on the right bank just before the dam. It is accompanied by a counter dam located at its foot on the left bank, which collects the spilled water to supply the Marseille-North branch of the Provence Canal.

Historic windmill painted by Cézanne.

Representative main building of the water supply company.

Still has its charm in winter with all the plants gone. Very little to no traffic.

A beautiful little mill at the start of the hiking trails
