Editing Pierre Puget (section)

===Marseille, architecture and urban design===
In 1672, having no further work at the Naval Arsenal, Puget returned to his birthplace, Marseille. His first project was a new urban square and street, the Cours Saint-Louis, and rue Canabière. It took much of its inspiration from the urban planning and architecture of [[Genoa]], and resembled on a small scale the later urban projects of [[Baron Haussmann]] and [[Napoleon III]] in Paris.{{Sfn|Lagrange|1868|p=167}}  He also created an ornate sculptural plaque with the coat of arms of the King to decorate the facade of the [[Hôtel de Ville, Marseille|Hôtel de Ville]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://multimedia.inrap.fr/atlas/marseille/sites/2843/Hotel-de-ville|title=Hôtel de Ville|publisher=Inrap| access-date=15 October 2024}}</ref> He designed a new fish market, completed in 1672, which is still in use, and [[La Vieille Charité]], begun in 1679, originally a home for beggars and the indigent, now a cultural center.  In addition, he designed town houses in Aix-en-Provence, including the Hotel d'Aiguilles (1675), a baroque mansion.{{Sfn|Geese|2015|p=304}}
