Parc Jourdan, Public park in central Aix-en-Provence, France
The 40,000-square-meter park features two distinct levels with a monumental double staircase connecting the lower French garden to the upper romantic garden section.
The municipal council led by Eugene Debazac decided to create the park in 1926, but construction began in 1932 under architects Jacques Couelle and Peslier.
The park contains the 17th-century statue 'Winter' and bronze busts of writers Frederic Mistral and Emile Zola, celebrating local literary figures.
The park opens daily from 9:00 AM with varying closing times throughout the year, ranging from 5:00 PM in winter to 8:30 PM during summer months.
The Oustau de Provenco association, housed in an 18th-century mansion within the park, maintains and promotes the Provençal language and traditions.
