Fontaine des Quatre-Dauphins

Place des Quatre-Dauphins, Aix-en-Provence, France
Tel: +33 4 42 16 11 61
 

In the heart of the pedestrian centre lies Place des Quatre Dauphins and the fountain of the same name, erected in 1667 and designed by Rambot. Four dolphins, each looking around a mysteriously inscribed obelisk, leap above a small circular pond filled with clear water. The romantic setting reminds one of those old cloak and dagger films. A stroll in this square under the shade of the plane trees to the sound of fresh running water is very pleasant indeed, particularly on sultry summer days.
