The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste du Faubourg is a Roman Catholic church in Aix-en-Provence.
The church building is located at 36 cours Sextius in Aix-en-Provence.
The church was built on an old church building.[1] It was designed by architect Laurent Vallon (1652-1724), and built from 1697 to 1702.[1] [2] [3] Its construction was partly funded by a donation from Jean-Baptiste Duchaine, a canon in Aix.[2] The building itself is shaped like a Greek cross.[1] It was expanded in the nineteenth century.[1]
Inside the church, the altar dates back to the eighteenth century.[3] Additionally, the pulpit inside the church was designed by Jean-Baptiste Rambot.[3] A painting by Charles de La Fosse (1636-1716) was donated to the church in 1821.[2] There are also two paintings by Michel Serre (1658–1733).[2]
Painter Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) married Hortense Fiquet in this church.[1]
In December 2013, a traditional Mass was said in provençal to celebrate the santons.[4]
It has been listed as a monument historique since 1983.
