Historic Mansions of Aix

Aix-en-Provence is renowned for its hôtels particuliers, grand private residences built between the 17th and 18th centuries. This collection highlights the city's architectural evolution, from the Baroque caryatids of the Pavillon de Vendôme to the Rococo elegance of Hôtel de Caumont. Located primarily in the Mazarin district and near Place des Prêcheurs, these mansions feature ornate stone carvings, secluded courtyards, and formal French gardens reflecting the wealth of the local parliamentarian nobility.
