Within walking distance of the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence, this exceptional duplex is set in a discreet and secure residence comprising only a small number of units, highly sought-after for its rarity and quality of life. Here, everything can be done on foot: lively streets, shops and the finest addresses in the heart of town are just moments away, while the immediate surroundings offer nature and nearby parks. The property strikes a rare balance between vibrant city living and a peaceful, green setting, enjoying absolute calm away from any disturbance. Designed to feel like a true house, the property offers 221 sqm of total floor area (183 sqm Carrez Law) and opens onto approximately 150 sqm of private garden as well as 35 sqm of terraces — a rare configuration within a condominium, providing both independence and comfort. The first level features an elegant entrance leading to a spacious, light-filled living area extended by a more intimate TV lounge; large openings create a seamless transition to the terrace and landscaped garden, a genuine green haven in the heart of the city. A beautiful master suite with bespoke dressing room and en-suite bathroom completes this level, along with a discreetly integrated utility room. Upstairs, a high-end contemporary kitchen opens onto a welcoming dining area extended by a second terrace of approximately 25 sqm; three additional bedrooms, two dressing rooms and two elegantly appointed bathrooms form a perfectly arranged night area. Two secure automated underground garages, two outdoor parking spaces and two cellars complete this rare property, set within a secure residence where opportunities are particularly limited.

Le Tholonet is a quiet residential commune immediately east of Aix-en-Provence, sitting at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the limestone massif that Cézanne painted repeatedly from the surrounding countryside. The area carries a particular cultural weight in Provence: the road from Aix toward Le Tholonet follows the route Cézanne walked daily, and the landscape retains the same quality of light and scale that defined his late work. Properties here combine proximity to central Aix with a markedly calmer, greener setting.
Central Aix is roughly five to ten minutes by car. The Cours Mirabeau, the covered market at Place Richelme, and the weekly market at Place des Prêcheurs are all easily accessible. Restaurants including Le Formal and Pierre Reboul are within the city centre. The Caumont Centre d’Art and the Musée Granet are both in Aix proper.
Aix-en-Provence TGV station connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in approximately three hours and to Marseille Saint-Charles in under fifteen minutes by high-speed rail. Marseille Provence Airport is approximately 25 kilometres from Le Tholonet, reachable in around 30 minutes by car, with direct routes to major European hubs including London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The A8 motorway provides straightforward road access toward Nice and the Italian border.
