Fontaine Du Roi René

The fountain is an amazing monument on its own but the square where the fountain is located serves as a venue for hosting multiple events in the city of Aix. It is the place for hosting the the annual remembrance of the liberation of Aix during WW2. The photos attached is that of the 78th anniversary where they display vehicles and tanks that were used during the libration. There are also people who dress in the exact army uniform and it’s very cool. Events like music festivals and others are still hosted at the square.

Lively square area. Saturday you can find various shops as part of local market.

It is located at the top of the Cours Mirabeau in the city center. The well has been standing in the town for over 200 years. At the top of the fountain is a statue of René of Anjou. It shows him holding grapes. It was restored for the 600th anniversary of the birth of René of Anjou.

It is nice, and surrounded of beautiful places, is a must.

Heart of Aix-en-Provence city....nice and happening place.

Aix is just a really lovely town to walk around. The streets were my favorite in all the cities in France we visited.

Amazing place. The water source was further down from the cliff face this time of year, but still beautiful and interesting

The Crying King a must to see fountain in Aix en Provence
