Chapelle des Oblats - Eglise de la mission, 60 cours Mirabeau, 13100 Aix-en-Provence
The chapelle des Oblats (also known as the église de la Mission) is a classical chapel located in downtown Aix-en-Provence. It is located on Place Forbin, at the top of Cours Mirabeau.
The Oblates' Chapel also has an elliptical cupola over the nave which is in the shape of a Latin cross, without side aisles, accentuating the impression of height. Bathed in natural light from a lantern skylight and four oeil-de-boeuf windows, it rests on composite pilasters with original decoration.

Two bas-reliefs by Thomas Veyrier which originally adorned the high altar are now kept in the Tapestry Museum.

The frontage of the Oblats was redesigned by Laurent Vallon in 1697, and enhanced by a flight of steps. The chapel was listed in 1911.
