The mansions of Aix-en-Provence, built in less than two centuries, continue to enhance this former capital of Provence, once prized by the wealthiest families. These residences, both places of life and prestige, reveal many stories: those of the Grand Siècle, of urban organisation and of the people of Aix who served the nobility.
