The dam of Lake Zola can be reached via beautiful trails. It was built between 1847 and 1854 and is one of the first arch dams in the world; according to Wikipedia, it may even be the very first. The lake served to supply Aix-en-Provence with drinking water, which was piped there via an aqueduct. A beautiful destination directly from Aix, or from Le Tholonet.

From the east, the Col des Portes is very gentle, with the gradient barely noticeable. This makes the quiet, narrow road all the more enjoyable. From the west, the gradient is significantly steeper, especially in the final climb.

In the 15th century, the architect Jean de Paris, Comptroller of Royal Buildings, designed the Villeneuve district, in the eastern part of the city, with a focus on perspectives and regular layouts. The "Boulevard Street" (Rue Emeric David) was the main alignment of the new district. Ledoux would center the facade of his new Palace on it. Built on the site of the former Palais Comtal, the Palais de Justice was commissioned in 1787 from Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, who had simultaneously envisioned the restructuring of the district. More than 200 houses were demolished to create this new building. The Revolution broke out, and work was suspended, only to resume in 1822, with slight modifications by Michel Penchaud, the prison architect. Completed in 1831, the Court moved there on November 13, 1832. Monuments to the glory of Siméon and Portalis* were erected in front of the Palace in 1842, works by the Aix-based Ramus, inaugurated on November 8, 1847. The neoclassical pediment, planned as on the Marseille Law Courts, was never built. Jean-Etienne-Marie Portalis (1778-1807) was a brilliant jurist from Provence, a long-time lawyer in Aix and a member of the city council in 1789. Napoleon entrusted him, along with others, with the drafting of the Civil Code. Having become a Minister, he made his mark on the era by drafting the Concordat with the Churches of France.
