Aix-en-Provence - Place d'Albertas

The Place d'Albertas in Aix-en-Provence lies a short way west of the Museum of Natural History. On its south side stands a town house of three wings grouped around a fountain. Here the visitor should turn right and follow rue Aude in a northerly direction, noting on the left the 16th C. Hôtel Peyroneti, built in 1562 and one of the oldest in Aix, with an interesting facade of double rectangular columns and a frieze of bulls' heads. Continue along rue du Maréchal Foch, with the 17th C. Hôtel d'Arbaud on the left, until the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is reached.
