Church of the Holy Spirit

Highlight • Religious Site

This site, located between the Cours Mirabeau and the Church of the Holy Spirit, holds stories from centuries past, dating back to its founding in the 15th century. Today, what remains of this vast complex is mainly its iconic bell tower and chapel, as well as walls integrated into more modern buildings. An interesting detail is that Martin Luther is said to have stayed here around 1510-1511. In the 16th century, the tower was enriched with a bell tower, a wrought iron structure designed to withstand the strong mistral winds, and was equipped with bells. With the French Revolution, the convent was converted into homes, a fate common to many religious buildings of the time. Today, the tower and chapel are owned by the municipality, while the surrounding buildings are privately owned. This place preserves not only architectural history, but also pieces of daily life in Aix-en-Provence from the past.

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.

The weekly market ends at 1:00 PM. If you want to try something delicious on site, you should do so early...😉
