Chapel of the Oblates, Historical church building near Cours Mirabeau, Aix-en-Provence, France.

The Chapel of the Oblates stands on Place Forbin at the top of the Cours Mirabeau. Its light beige stone facade rises to a triangular pediment, with a large circular window and a small carved cross below it. A statue of a figure holding a child fills a niche above the round-arched wooden door, reached by a short flight of stone steps with black metal handrails.

Built between 1695 and 1701 from designs by Thomas Veyrier, the structure rose on land formerly occupied by a Carmelite convent. The religious site had been established on this location since 1625.

Eugène de Mazenod bought the former Carmelite convent in 1816 to train priests for re-evangelising Provence, making this the first foundation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Since October 2012 the house has answered directly to the congregation's superior general, and it now runs as the Centre international Eugène-de-Mazenod, hosting students and sessions for Oblates worldwide. Four priests and one brother, each of a different nationality, serve it.

The building is accessible to visitors during worship services held on weekdays in the morning hours. It is wise to inquire beforehand about times when the public can visit outside of services.

The chapel's elliptical dome, in the style of Pierre Puget, covers a Latin-cross nave without side aisles. It is lit by a lantern and four oculi, and rests on composite pilasters with unusual decoration. Two bas-reliefs by Thomas Veyrier that once adorned the main altar are now on deposit at the Musée des Tapisseries.
