Parc Jourdan, Public park in central Aix-en-Provence, France

Parc Jourdan is a public park in Aix-en-Provence covering 33,700 m² on two levels. The lower part, in the French garden style, is entered through a large gate opening onto a lime-tree-lined path that leads to a water mirror. A monumental double staircase or a side ramp leads to the upper romantic garden, with broad lawns bordered by sandy paths.

Plans for this park began in 1926 when municipal leaders decided to create a green space in the city center, with actual construction starting in 1932. Architects Jacques Couelle and Peslier designed the layout that blended formal and romantic garden styles.

The park is named after Joseph Jourdan, mayor of Aix-en-Provence from 1919 to 1925 and again from 1929 to 1934. In the upper garden, a mansion houses the association L'Oustau de Prouvènço, which promotes the Provençal language. Visitors can also see a 17th-century statue called "L'Hiver" and busts of Frédéric Mistral by Louis Botinelly and Émile Zola by Philippe Solari.

The park has three entrances: on rue Anatole-France, on avenue Jules-Ferry, and from avenue Robert Schuman via a footbridge over the railway line leading to the Camin d'Oc. The site is laid out on two levels, so the upper romantic garden is reached by a monumental double staircase or by a ramp on the side.

The maison de maître in the park houses l'Oustau de Prouvènço, an association promoting the Provençal language. The park also holds a 17th-century statue called "L'Hiver" and busts of Frédéric Mistral by Louis Botinelly and of Émile Zola by Philippe Solari.
