En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Saint-Pons, in Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône), stands along the former road to Apt, on an estate attested since at least the 14th century, with two bastides and a toll station. The present château was begun around 1600–1620 by Marc-Antoine d'Escalis, with a rusticated base and blind walls with defensive overtones. In the 1630s, Claire d'Escalis commissioned plasterwork decoration in the staircase well. Modernised in the 18th century by the d'Antoine family, it belonged to the Jaubert family until 1878. The 19th-century west wing, which had collapsed, was rebuilt in 1878–1885, and a veranda was added at the beginning of the 20th century.
