Collège Mignet, Historical school building in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The stone facade of Collège Mignet stretches along Rue Cardinale, combining architectural elements from two former convents into a single educational structure.

The building, authorized by King Henry IV in 1603, served as a religious institution until 1790 when the French Revolution led to the expulsion of religious orders.

Notable alumni including painter Paul Cézanne, writer Émile Zola, and composer Darius Milhaud have walked through the corridors of this institution.

Students can attend classes Monday through Friday, with specific hours from 8 AM to 5 PM except for Wednesdays which end at 12 PM.

The grand ceremonial staircase and former Benedictine convent entrance received official classification as historic monuments in 1991.
