The Jas de Bouffan is a stately eighteenth-century bastide, or country manor, recognizable by the towering plane trees that line its entrance. Built around seventeen fifty by the architect Georges Vallon, the estate served as a summer retreat and family home for the painter Paul Cézanne and his relatives for four decades. It was a place of work as well as residence, housing the artist's first attic studio and grounds that appear in dozens of his oil paintings and watercolors.
