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.

Cours Mirabeau

Highlight • Other

Aix-en-Provence is often called "the city of a thousand fountains" or the "city of water". Aix as Aigues means water in Latin. There are officially about 250 public and private fountains in the city center of Aix which, over approximately 3 km2, represents one of the largest concentrations of fountains in Europe. Most are now part of the private space. Some having existed since Roman times are no longer visible today. It is a city divided in two: on either side of the Cours Mirabeau we find on one side the old Aix with its alleys and its medieval buildings, on the other the new Aix which dates from the so-called classic.
The studio of Paul Cézanne, the most famous painter of this Provençal town can be visited. For more information, visit: atelier-cezanne.com
