Getting to the Musée Granet

The Musée Granet is located in the chic Quartier Mazarin. This new section of Aix-en-Provence was constructed in the late 17th century. Jean Lombard, the director of public works at that time, planned the streets for this new quarter in 1646. The urban design was a grid pattern, unlike the streets and alleyways of Roman and Medieval Aix on the other side of the Cours Mirabeau.
