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)

Cross this bridge and you leave the city traffic of Aix and head straight for a quiet little stretch that climbs pleasantly up the mountain through a pine forest.

It is beautiful here

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.
