Cours Mirabeau, Main boulevard in Aix-en-Provence, France
The 440-meter-long Cours Mirabeau features plane trees lining both sides, with four historical fountains positioned along its length.
The construction of this central thoroughfare began in 1651, transforming a former city rampart into a principal avenue for the French nobility.
The street houses numerous mansions, including Les Deux Garçons café, which attracted intellectuals such as Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola.
Located between Place de la Rotonde and Place du Général Charles de Gaulle, this street connects the Mazarin quarter with the old town.
The fountain Fontaine Moussue maintains a temperature of 18°C throughout the year due to its thermal spring water source.
