City of water, city of art, Aix-en-Provence allows itself to be rocked by the rhythm of crickets. Cours Mirabeau is the chic artery, featuring sculpted fountains and private mansions whose ironwork decorations convey a touch of Italy. Not far from historical midtown, its serene landscape with a generous nature is on display, facing a large 18th-century bastide filled with charm.

A bastide on the Provencal paths

Renovated to highlight its original colors, it proudly stands in the middle of a tree-line park of 4 hectares, enhanced by a small French-style garden, basins, a rose garden, a swimming pool with its pool-house and a tennis court. Featuring a wide array of amenities, it also comprises a 135 m² caretaker's house with a private garden, an artists's workshop, a 93 m² hot house and a small outdoor shed.
