A unique place in the tangle of Aix-en-Provence streets.

In 1724, Marquis Henri Reynaud d'Albertas, jealous of his neighbor, parliamentary councillor Jean-Baptiste Boyer d'Eguilles, and his hotel with a forecourt in front, renovated and embellished his private mansion. Destroying the houses in front, his son laid out a square bordered by a series of uniform buildings. At its center is a fountain, first in stone then in cast iron, donated in 1912 by the Ecole des Arts et Métiers. Listed as a historic monument in 2000, the calade and fountain are currently being renovated to the delight of onlookers.

La plus jolie fontaine d'aix
Souvent égayée d'une musique de rue, la place d'alertas est un délice pour les yeux. La finesse de ses façades, le soleil qui se reflète sur ses pierres. Mon endroit préféré du centre vil depuis 20 ans.

Jolie place de centre ville
Une jolie place pavée avec une belle fontaine au centre. Les bâtiments autour permettent d'avoir un bon aperçu de la richesse de la ville.

This little place all circular with its pretty little fountain, these pretty buildings… always exercised some fascination on me. I like to stop there to eat a sandwich. It has two big advantages: It is very quiet, a little over time while being central in the old Aix.

Cette place peut laisser perplexe car elle n'est rénovée qu'en partie. Elle garde néanmoins un charme indéniable et elle a une aura de mystère avec la légende du marquis de Sade.
Elle participe clairement à l'identité d'Aix en Provence. A voir.

Well agreement with Poupou 75: if there is a place to see in Aix, it is well Place d'Albertas: this beautiful, in its old-fashioned charm and is still impressed history and mystery. Miss under any circumstances.
