Château de la Mignarde, Monument historique classé in Quartier des Pinchinats, Aix-en-Provence, France.

The Château de la Mignarde features a grand 18th-century facade with twenty-seven windows and contains multiple rooms decorated with fine stonework.

The estate underwent substantial modifications around 1770 by Sauveur Mignard, transforming it from its original 17th-century construction into its present form.

The drawing room displays hand-painted wallpaper depicting Chinese rice fields, representing the French fascination with Eastern aesthetics during the 18th century.

The château opens exclusively for group visits through advance reservations, with guided tours available by calling +33 4 42 23 11 33.

During her stay in 1807, Pauline Bonaparte directed her staff to silence the frogs and cicadas using long poles in the château gardens.
