You’ve seen Provence in paintings. Majestic Montagne Sainte-Victoire brushed in deep greens by Cezanne. Scenes of the St.-Tropez seaside portrayed in muted blues and flaxen by Matisse and Signac.

From grand estates ... one hour from Marseille near Aix-en-Provence, Villa La Coste, sits immersed in the 600-acre grounds of the Château La Coste wine estate and open-air art museum.
