Grand Saint-Jean Park

Grand Saint-Jean domain is situated about ten kilometers from the North of Aix-en-Provence. Extending over 240 hectares it establishes one of the most remarkable architectural and landscaped heritages of the city of Aix-en-Provence.

Founded before the Roman invasion around an oratory, it constituted a stage on the old salt road, the domain includes a castle of the 16th century in Renaissance style, a Romanesque chapel of the 11th century, a park and its ponds.

On the occasion of the art lyric in Aix-en-Provence, the castle yard is occupied by an open-air theatre, which welcomes public every evening of show.
