Location[edit]
It is located at number 14 on the Cours Mirabeau in Aix-en-Provence.[1]
History[edit]
It was built in 1660 for Honoré de Rascas, Lord of Le Cannet and Advisor to the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence.
It was purchased by Antoine de Fauris in 1739. It later became the private residence of his son, Jules-François-Paul Fauris de Saint-Vincens (1718-1798), who served as the President à mortier of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence in 1746. Later, his grandson, Alexandre de Fauris de Saint-Vincens (1750-1815), who served as President a mortier of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence in 1782 and later as Mayor of Aix-en-Provence from 1808 to 1809, lived there too.
On the ground floor, there is a vestibule, a big lounge looking out to a private garden, a bedroom and a library, as well as two additional rooms which are rented out to the Société Générale, a French bank.[1] On the first floor, there is another big lounge, another bedroom and another library, all looking out to the garden.[1] There is also a second floor.
