Hôtel de Caumont – Centre d'Art
Hôtel de Caumont
An 18th-century aristocratic mansion in the Mazarin quarter, converted into an art center that hosts masterpiece exhibitions and screens a Cézanne documentary, with an elegant garden tea room.
The Hôtel de Caumont was built between 1715 and 1742 and is one of Aix's most splendid private mansions. Restored and reopened as an art center in 2015, it recreates 18th-century salons and bedrooms and hosts two or three special exhibitions a year, ranging from classical to modern masters. A permanent screening room shows films about Cézanne's life, and the café in the French garden is ideal for afternoon tea. Admission is about €14–16 (depending on the exhibition). It is a 3-minute walk from the Cours Mirabeau.
