Le Tholonet village, a favorite place of Cézanne, has been added to Beyond. This tiny village, 5 km east of Aix-en-Provence, has a 17th-century chateau, a 16th-century windmill tower, at sits at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. Cézanne did a lot of his painting in this area, and ate frequently in a restaurant in Le Tholonet.
Ah! Another one of my favourite spots - off the usual tourist track.
