Near the city center (1.56 Miles), in the heart of the surrounding Aix En Provence countryside, La Bastide du Roy Rene offers a level of comfort in an historic setting. In 1472 King Rene', Duke of Anjou and Count of Provence, had the Bastide de Perignane built and from the beginning perpetuated there an ambiance of pleasure and feast. Later, the bastide was acquired by the Saint Sauveur Cathedral of Aix and took on religious functions until the 17th century when the Bastide was transformed into a hospital, a shelter for victims of the epidemics which ravaged Europe at the time. Ruin. renovation, the ancient Bastide has become a nice residence welcoming business guests, tourists and admirers of Aix-en-Provence.
