L'Estaque

L'Estaque (French pronunciation: [lɛstak]; Occitan: L'Estaca) is a village in southern France, just west of Marseille.

Many artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist periods visited or resided there or in the surrounding area.

Paul Cézanne painted many views of the water from his room in L'Estaque, showing the changing seasons, the shifting light of day, and the changes in the village itself over time.

It exhibits some of pre-impressionist painter Adolphe Monticelli's most representative artwork, together with paintings from other Maîtres provençaux such as Jean-Baptiste Olive.

The foundation's location features one of the most eye-catching views of the bay of Marseille.
