House / Gardens Sights in Aix-en-Provence

A 17th century 'pleasure palace', this fine mansion conatins collections of 17th & 18th century Provencal furniture and portraits. It is set in wonderful formal French-style gardens.

The town hall or 'Hotel de Ville' in Aix en Provence originally dates back to the fourteenth century, with two subsequent building phases taking place in 1655 and 1678.

Paul Cezanne's father bought this 18th century country mansion in 1859 and created a studio for his son in the attics.

Located on the outskirts of Aix, not far from the Atelier Cezanne is the Terrain des Peintres.
