About Pavillon de Vendôme Museum
On the edge of old Aix-en-Provence, the Pavillon de Vendôme is a magnificent Baroque mansion set in formal French gardens, built in the 17th century as a pleasure house for a cardinal and now a museum and exhibition space. Its grand façade, adorned with sculpted figures and elegant proportions, and its beautifully restored panelled rooms make the pavilion itself a work of art, a fine example of the refined architecture of the age of Louis XIV. Surrounded by geometric gardens with fountains and clipped hedges, it hosts changing exhibitions of art alongside its period interiors and collections. Elegant, harmonious and set in a green oasis of calm, the Pavillon de Vendôme is a delightful cultural stop in Aix, offering both beautiful architecture and gardens and a peaceful escape from the bustling streets of this refined Provençal city.
