Magnificent fountain with the Cours Mirabeau. Resting point and starting point for very diverse circuits and nearby countryside. The only downside: Aix en Provence is absolutely not equipped for cyclists, but fortunately you can get out of it quite quickly (Gametta and its roundabout below deserve to be very careful)

The Rotonde, located on Place du Général de Gaulle, is where the past and future of Aix's urban development unfold. The square (100m in diameter) was created between 1840 and 1850. In 1860, the Rotonde fountain was built based on plans by the engineers Tournadre and Sylvestre. Twelve meters high, the fountain is constructed of cold stone and consists of two basins. Lions, dolphins, swans, and children, works by Truphème, adorn it. The three statues that surmount it represent Justice (toward the Cours), Agriculture (toward Marseille), and Fine Arts (toward Avignon), forming a star-shaped road. Ramus, Chabaud, and Ferrat are its creators. First supplied sparingly by the Zola canal (1854), then with full water every day by the Verdon canal (1875), it is now connected to the Provence canal.

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. (https://www.aixenprovence.fr/Place-de-l-hotel-de-ville)

Also nicknamed "lost lake", this dam on the Cause is ideally located at the gates of the city of Aix-en-Provence. It is supplied with water mainly by an artificial underground pipe bringing water from the Verdon via the Canal de Provence and not by the river which is often dry. This explains why we find this turquoise color of the water. Swimming in the Bimont lake is prohibited. It is regularly drained and many fish are thus collected.
