Palais Provençal stands on Rue Bosio, in Les Moneghetti. It was completed in 1929 to designs by Philippe Gamba. It has 4 levels, is Art Deco in style and holds apartments. Straight lines, geometric motifs, octagonal columns at the Boulevard de Belgique entrance and sharp balconies make it a textbook Art Deco block.
