Gallifet Art Center & Restaurant
We are pleased to be back online, after two weeks of the worst “grippe ever”… Oh and what perfect timing, the Gallifet Centre d’Art & Restaurant will be unveiling a new exhibition, entitled “Materialistes” from 15 November – 1 February, 2025 featuring hand-crafted works exploring the difference between art and craft. If you haven’t been, the Gallifet, is a stunning 18th century hôtel particulier located in the heart of Aix-en-Provence’s historic, Mazarin district and was opened to the public in 2010 by Nicolas Mazet as a cultural and art venue.
These past two years, the charming owners, Nicholas & Kate, have added a fantastic seasonal restaurant with a focus on local and foraged ingredients, showcasing products carefully selected from farmers, fishermen and artisans in the Provençal region. The garden is an absolute oasis in the heart of Aix and the duo have truly built a fantastic creative community and close-knit following. They have also recently opened up, La Petite Maison, this past winter featuring their own carefully curated, boutique featuring: ceramicists, artworks and textiles which is changed up regularly. It’s a fantastic place to experience art and gastronomic cuisine in their beautiful oasis in the center of town of Aix.
Throughout the year, the Gallifet Art Center offers changing, modern art exhibitions, creative art workshops, seasonal supper club, a book club and a lovely outdoor tea service in their stunning urban garden. Their gastronomic restaurant opens for the summer each season for lunch and dinner from April to October. We cannot wait until spring when the exquisite platane tree-lined courtyard opens for the season and Aix pops back to life, but in the meantime, we can equally enjoy the Gallifet’s exhibitions inside the stunning 18th century hotel particulier. Check their website for changing events and be sure to book your lunch or dinner reservation. You won’t regret it!
