Cabries, the village
Cabries is a typical Provencal village, perched on a rocky outcrop between Aix and Marseille.
You will discover delightful medieval streets which wind amongst the ancient houses, adding to the village's charm.
Cabries chateau-museum
The "chateau de Cabries" dates from the 9th century, alhtough it was restored and rebuilt in the 18th century. Well-known painter Edgar Mélik bought the chateau in 1934.
Today it houses the "Musee Melik" where impressive exhibitions can be seen, including works by Picasso, Dali and César...
Cabries, lanscape
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.
Cabries, small square
While walking in the streets of Cabries, you will discover the marvellous architecture of the region...
...beautiful old houses line the shady squares, colourful shutters faded by the sun, old wooden doors, stone-walls bleached from the sun... and small cats stretched out in the heat.
Cabries, street
In summer visitors are invited to enjoy the Provencal cuisine... there's no question of escaping the famous "daube provençale" or the delicious "pieds et paquets", without forgetting the mouth-watering "aïoli"...
everything is washed down with an excellent local rosé... ambience guaranteed !
