Palais de l'archevêché d'Aix-en-Provence
Palais de l'archevêché d'Aix-en-Provence, 17th-century Archbishop's Palace in central Aix-en-Provence, France.
The Archbishop's Palace features a grand facade constructed from Bibémus stone with a main portal decorated according to 18th-century Parisian architectural styles.
The current palace structure was built between 1650 and 1730 under architect Laurent Vallon's direction to serve as the residence for Aix's archbishops.
The first floor houses the Tapestry Museum, displaying three major collections: the Grotesque, the Story of Don Quixote, and the Russian Games.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10 AM to 6 PM from May to October, with visits available upon request from October to December.
The palace's main staircase, built in 1670, features an unusual diagonal composition and double revolution, rare characteristics in French architecture.
