Hôtel d'Agut
Built in 1676 for Pierre d'Agut, adviser to the parliament, this beautiful building is well representative of the first Aix baroque. Jean Claude Rambot decorated the entrance with an atlantean-cariatid couple, unique in Aix-en-Provence.
The Hôtel d'Agut was built in 1667 for Pierre d'Agut, a Member of Parliament. The two figures supporting the central balcony are by Jean-Claude Rambot, while Jean-Louis Michel made the window ornaments, the corner niche and the overdoor.
The successive transformations of the interior mean that the decorations are no longer visible the entrance hall alone still has beams covered with moulded garlands.
The Hôtel d'Agut illustrates the evolution of the atlantes theme reintroduced into the region by Pierre Puget
