The quartier Mazarin is a district in the southern part of Aix-en-Provence, south and west of the cours Mirabeau, planned in 1646 by Michel Mazarin, brother of the Cardinal and Archbishop of Aix from 1645-8.

It is laid out on a grid plan, with numerous examples of Hôtel particulier and ornate fountains.
