The Madeleine Church, built between 1691 and 1703 by Laurent Vallon, received its façade between 1855 and 1860, a monumental veneer by Revoil. Listed in 1988, the church contains numerous works by artists who lived in Aix, including the exceptional Altarpiece of the Annunciation (1444), currently visible in the Saint-Esprit Church (rue Espariat) during the restoration work on the building. It was here that Paul Cézanne was baptized in 1839, his parents married here in 1844 and his sister Rose married the lawyer Maxime Conil here in 1881.
