Puyricard Ancien Atelier D'artiste Du XVII Ie Siècle

Puyricard is a sought-after village commune on the northern edge of Aix-en-Provence, defined by its stone farmhouses, mature plane trees, and the unhurried pace of a genuinely rural Provençal setting that remains within five minutes of a major city. The village has preserved its character through strict planning controls, which limits density and keeps the landscape of garrigue, vineyards, and dry-stone walls largely intact. It is consistently regarded as one of the most desirable addresses in the Aix metropolitan area.

The village centre has a weekly market, a handful of local restaurants, and the celebrated Puyricard chocolate house, which has been producing handmade confectionery here since 1967. The full range of Aix-en-Provence amenities, including the Cours Mirabeau, the covered market on Place Richelme, and the city’s cultural institutions, is a five-minute drive south.

Aix-en-Provence TGV station is approximately ten minutes by car and connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in roughly three hours. Marseille-Provence Airport is around 25 minutes by road, offering direct routes to major European hubs. The A8 motorway provides straightforward access to Marseille to the west and the Côte d’Azur to the east, with Nice reachable in under two hours.
