Chapelle des Pénitents Bleus
An eighteenth-century former penitents' chapel survives on rue du Bon-Pasteur in the old town. Its façade and doorway remain visible despite the building's later educational use.

Pause to read the scale and entrance of the former chapel within the narrow street, rather than expecting a church open for worship. The building shows how religious architecture can remain part of Aix's streets after its original community has gone. Its present educational use matters to the visit: the public exterior is the attraction, and interior access is not implied.
