Hôtel de Gantès, Private mansion in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The Hôtel de Gantès displays architectural elements from the 17th century, including ornate stonework, large windows, and symmetrical design features.

François de Gantès, General Prosecutor of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence, commissioned the construction of this mansion, which was completed in 1660.

The ground floor housed the Les Deux Garçons café, where Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola held their intellectual discussions before evening meals.

The building contains eleven rooms and suites spread across two floors, equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning and wireless internet access.

During the French Revolution in 1789, two aristocratic members of the private club operating in this building faced execution by beheading and hanging.
