Saint Antonin sur Bayon
|
 Saint Antonin sur Bayon is an extremely
small village which spreads out over the 1 753 hectares on the green slopes
to the south of the Sainte Victoire mountain, just a few kilometers from
Aix. Looked over by the abrupt sides of the mountain the village sits
on a small plateau surrounded by ridges and pretty little mountain valley
and has only a few houses within it's territory.
As it's name suggests Saint Antonin is crossed from East to West by the pretty stream : the Bayon. You'll discover the superb landscapes that Cézanne saw when he came walking in the area. Nature hasn't changed , verdant, wild and magnificently preserved. Saint Antonin has remained a haven of peace which you can discover and enjoy from the scented paths around the village. The only road leading to Saint-Antonin snakes up the mountain side and is really superb bordered by the wonderful landscapes , drive slowly to really take in the beauty of the surroundings...! Don't miss : The Maison de Sainte-Victoire which offers a variety
of information about Sainte Victoire and the geology of the upper Vallée
de l'Arc, and a local products shop with books and guides .., and an
extremely interesting exhibition of local species : animals , flora,
plants and trees ... etc. |
