Description
Français : Église du Saint-Esprit, 40 rue Espariat, Aix-en-Provence, France.
English: This is the road you might walk up if heading for an evening meal in Aix-en-Provence - Rue Espariat.

This church, which forms the shape of a cross within a rectangle when viewed from above, is an achievement of the Vallon brothers constructed between 1706 and 1728. The shape represents an architectural innovation of this period in Aix-en-Provence. The sculpture and decorative work, created entirely during the last two years of construction, makes an interesting historical reference: the figures of the 12 apostles are reputed to be portraits of the 12 original members of the French parliament from 1501.

L'Eglise du Saint-Esprit (1705-1716)

The former chapel of Saint-Esprit Hospital houses the Annuncation Altarpieace (1444). Directly opposite is the Augustine belltower with a beautiful wrought iron belfry from 1677.
