Corseted by a ring of hills, including the Calanques massif, the city winds 57 km along the Mediterranean coast. Sunshine is one of the strong assets of its pleasant lifestyle, and the Mistral wind gives it that special light that has inspired many renowned painters such as Cézanne, Braque, Dufy, Derain, Marquet and others.
