Cézanne Pilgrimage Trail Run to Sainte-Victoire


Aix en Provence is chuck full of charming, claustrophobic streets,

Which block all views of the surrounding hills.  


Sainte-Victoire's limestone mass lies about 10K south of Aix. I started out on a crazy-narrow highway, 

Then soon found pathways carved into the red dirt of the foothills. 


While running through the pines, 

I imagined I was the young Marcel Pagnol


Waymarked trees guided me home.
