Fontaine de la Rotonde

Description:

• Erected in 1860 at the entrance of the present Cours Mirabeau, this fountain is one of the distinctive features of this town. Recently renovated and cleaned after years of neglect, the bronze lions with their striking manes and the three pale and elegant statues all sparkle once again. Swans ridden by stone cherubs verse fresh water gently from their beaks. The water comes from the town's abundant underground source. At nightfall, this square is beautifully lit and allows both visitors and locals to enjoy its peace and beauty.
