The Location:
Cabries is a typical Provencal village, perched on a rocky outcrop between Aix and Marseille. It features delightful medieval streets which wind amongst the ancient houses, adding to the village's charm. The "château de Cabries" dates from the 9th century, although it was restored and rebuilt in the 18th century. Well-known painter Edgar Melik bought the chateau in 1934. Today it houses the "Musee Melik" where impressive exhibitions can be seen, including works by Picasso, Dali and Cesar. From the terrace of the chateau, an exceptional view of Mount Sainte Victoire can be seen, from the "pilon du Roi" to Mont Ventoux... a visit to the chateau should therefore not be missed. While walking in the streets of Cabries, one can discover the marvellous architecture representative of the region: old houses lined with shady squares, colourful shutters faded by the sun, old wooden doors, stone-walls bleached by the sun. Twenty minutes from Cabries is the lively Provencal town of Aix en Provence. As a city of art and culture Aix possesses a wealth of amazing architectural heritage that has been carefully preserved and enjoy numerous street markets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Activities:
Several events happen throughout the year in the surrounding area including a garlic festival mid-July and "aïoli celebration" end of August, and a festival end of July with "pieds et paquets" tasting. A large variety of sports activities are available like horse riding, golfing, mountain biking, swimming, playing tennis, and hiking.
