In
January 1888, Renoir stayed at the Jas de Bouffan, but soon left
Cézanne "due to the dark miserliness that fills the
house". On the 18th September 1899, the Jas de Bouffan
was sold to Louis Granel, an agronomic engineer, graduate from the
Ecole Polytechnique of Carcassonne, for the sum of 75000 francs.
The daughter of Louis Granel married Frederic Corsy, a professor
of the Medicine Faculty of Marseilles. in 1994, their son, the doctor
Corsy sold the property to the town of Aix en Provence, retaining
the usufruct, with the exception of the farm.
