The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Aix-en-Provence and Arles is an archdiocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in France. The Archepiscopal see is located in the city of Aix-en-Provence. The diocese comprises the department of Bouches-du-Rhône , in the Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It is currently a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Marseilles and consequently the archbishop no longer wears the pallium. After the Concordat, the Archdiocese gained the titles of Arles and Embrun , becoming the Archdiocese of Aix . The dioceses of Fréjus and Toulon had been suppressed and parts of Toulon and Riez were attributed to Aix. But in the Concordat of 1817, Arles was reestablished as a metropolitanate , and the metropolitanate of Aix was assigned the suffragan dioceses of Fréjus , Digne, and Gap. From 1838 to 1867 the diocese of Algiers was also suffragan to the Archbishop of Aix.In 2007, the name of the diocese was changed again to the Archdiocese of Aix . In 2008, the title of Embrun was reattached to the Diocese of Gap by decision of Pope Benedict XVI.The current archbishop is Christophe Dufour.
