Tips

The Cours Mirabeau, the backbone of Aix en Provence, ended in poor condition in a muddy place in the 19th century. The city council then decided to embellish the Place de la Rotonde by creating a fountain that would symbolize the city at the center of its main intersection.

The fountain is 12 meters high and 32 meters wide and shows above all the wealth and genius of the city. Aix has been the water capital of the region since Roman times, its conditions and its 23 wells give it this reputation, and it was obvious that a well should take on this symbolic role.

The top of the fountain is decorated with 3 sculptures of women, "the 3 graces". Their clothing and posture indicate activity of Aix en Provence for each of them.

As the main axis of the city, the Cours Mirabeau is bordered by the two fountains Fontaine du Roi René in the east and the Fontaine de La Rotonde in the west. The Rotonde fountain was built in 1860 and is crowned by three statues depicting justice (looking along the Cours Mirabreau), agriculture (looking towards Marseille) and the fine arts (directed towards Avignon).
