A quiet and charming square.
Not far from the centre of Aix-en-Provence, in the Mazarin neighbourhood, this is a lovely square; when I visited, the autumn colours made it really nice. In the centre of the square, I was struck by the fountain with dolphins. It was built in 1667, by a sculptor named Jean-Claude Rambot. Around it are beautiful Provencal buildings, some belonging to wealthy landowners, others businesses for doctors or law offices. Peaceful and tranquil, it's a great spot to go for a bit of quiet.
