Place Richelme

Place Richelme, Market square in central Aix-en-Provence, France.

Place Richelme is a square in central Aix-en-Provence formed by two joined spaces: the 14th-century Place aux Herbes and the 18th-century Place du Marché at the foot of the Halle aux Grains. The grain hall borders it to the north, separating it from the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, with the Rue Maréchal-Foch and Rue Vauvenargues along its sides. A copy of Pietro Tacca's bronze boar stands in the southern part.

The square has maintained its role as a marketplace since 1360, making it one of the city's oldest continuously active trading centers. For over five centuries, a dedicated area housed specialized fish vendors who shaped the reputation of this location.

The daily market draws together neighbors, tourists, and locals who exchange news and discover regional products. The way people move between the stalls and talk with vendors shapes the character of this place.

The market is held every morning: a Provençal market on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, and a food market on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. The square is pedestrian, so reach it on foot. The Halle aux Grains borders it to the north, separating it from the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville.

The square's name honours Marie-Rose Richelme (1836-1902), niece of the Aix tenor Louis-Ferdinand Richelme (1804-1845); the old name place aux Herbes was only replaced by deliberation of 23 May 1930. In its southern part stands the Fontaine du Sanglier, a copy of Pietro Tacca's boar, itself after a marble in the Uffizi.
