Rotonde Fountain

Highlight • Monument

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.

Bibémus Path

Highlight • Forest

Good connections from Aix to the stone bridges of Bíbemus. Those who like can use a hiking trail right next to the road for almost the entire route.

Bimont Reservoir and View of Mont Sainte-Victoire

Highlight • Monument

The water reservoir of Lake Bimont, the landscape of ocher earth, the pine forests and the unmissable view of the Sainte-Victoire mountain make this trail very pleasant to walk.

Lake Bimont

Highlight • Lake

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.
