Former Provence parliament and Counts' court, this palace was rebuilt by architect Ledoux at the end of the 18th Century. A large staircase, flanked by statues of Portalis and SimĂ©on, leads up to the salle des pas-perdus, whose name (room of the lost steps) refers to the lawyers and their clients pacing as they waited between hearings. The transformation of the adjacent prison into the new court of Appeal in 1998 marked Aix's promotion to leading judicial center. In the middle of this space, the place des PrĂȘcheurs (Preachers' square), plays a part in the town's economy by hosting a flea market. Admission: Free
