Tourtour is an excellent small walking village with dramatic views and delightful walks on the cobblestone streets. Enjoy a restful lunch at one of the restaurants or pack your own and sit in the open areas to enjoy a view. A nice getaway.

A remnant of medieval times, this unusual mossy covered fountain sits right at the most famous street in town called Cours Mirabeau.

We had a weekend with kids, dogs, friends and enjoyed a few lovely strolls down the Cours Mirabeau to the fountain at the end. It's all central to Aix, very walkable, very scenic. Can't wait to do it again soon!

Place Castellane is a late 18th century construction. In effect it's a large traffic roundabout at an important street intersection. However the beautiful fountain in the middle makes this a worthwhile visit. The area was originally the property of a very wealthy aristocrat (Marquis Henri-César de Castellane-Majastre), who donated it to the city. A fountain was constructed and reconstructed in later years. The sculptures on the fountain symbolise the three rivers of the region, the Durance, the Gardon and the Rhône as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Interestingly, the fountain incorporated a public wash-house, which was used by people to wash their clothes. This practice continued until washing machines started to appear and then people used these in their houses. The Place Castellane general area is quite lovely with numerous shops, including some nice cafes and restaurants. There are also bars and cinemas as well as other types of shops, even a Fresh Food Market. You can either walk there, as we did, or you can catch the tram, bus or the metro.
