Large square with cafes, brasserie and a columned fountain, the stately, somewhat Italian-looking town hall has a campanile with a clock tower.

This square features three key features: the town hall, its fountain, and the grain market.

Situated since the 14th century at the foot of the Clock Tower, the town hall was rebuilt in two phases between 1655 and 1678. The overall design, inspired by Italian palaces, is the work of Pavillon, assisted by the sculptors Rambot and Fossé. Two series of paintings are located in the Salle des Etats de Provence, on the first floor: on the one hand, portraits of the counts of Provence and the kings of France, and on the other, major historical works. Time and the Revolution have stripped the façade of its rich ornamentation.

The fountain, built in 1755, topped by a Roman column, is by Chastel. The monumental decor surrounding it gives it a wealth of character.

Built in 1754, the Halle aux Grains is characterized by a central avant-corps, topped by a triangular pediment protecting a magnificent Baroque ensemble sculpted by Chastel: these are allegories of the Rhône and the Durance, in the form of a man and a woman depicted surrounded by all the agricultural riches derived from the benefits of water. The goddess's foot emerging from the pediment symbolizes the moments when the Durance bursts its banks... a subtle metaphor.
