Grand Site Sainte-Victoire, Natural mountain site in Provence, France.

The limestone mountain stretches 18 kilometers in length and rises to 1,011 meters at Pic des Mouches, featuring steep southern cliffs and gentle northern slopes.

During the late 19th century, painter Paul Cézanne created numerous paintings of the mountain, establishing it as a central figure in French artistic heritage.

The Prieuré Sainte-Victoire hosts regular exhibitions of local artists and students who continue the tradition of capturing the mountain through various art forms.

Multiple hiking trails traverse the mountain, ranging from 7 to 12 kilometers in length, with varying elevation gains suitable for different fitness levels.

The mountain's northern face reveals panoramic views extending to the snow-capped Alps, while the southern perspective overlooks the Bay of Marseille.
