Arts & Culture
Demonstrating Parisian influences, the Hôtel de Caumont is a mansion built "between court and garden", an architectural design that appeared in Paris in the 16th century.
It's now an art centre. Hotel de Caumont has become a must venue in Aix en Provence
You can extend your visit with a lunch or a coffee / tea break at Café Caumont. The Café Caumont and its terrace overlooks a French garden and it's really beautiful.
