Place Richelme

Place Richelme is a small square at the end of Espariat Street in old downtown Aix en Provence. It's separated from the town square by the main post office. I imagine that there was only one space once and post office building came later on. You can then go on either side and reach the city hall. There are beautiful Provencal markets held here on the weekends where they sell regional fruits and vegetables, fresh cheeses, sausages, candies, honey, and other delicacies. The market is a little pricey but still nice, in fact, much nicer than the markets in Marseilles. When there's no market happening, there are some really great bars and restaurants in the square.
