Les petites portes de ma rue

Dans ma rue, sur le mur de gauche que vous voyez dans mon post précédent, il y a des petites portes donnant sur des jardins mystérieux.

In my street, on the left wall which you can see in my previous post, there are small doors, behind which are mysterious gardens.

C'était un petit jardin...

Je ne suis pas allée très loin pour prendre cette photo car c'est le haut de ma rue qui est piétonne bien sûr. J'ai beaucoup de chance de vivre dans ce petit havre de paix tout en étant à 10 minutes du centre-ville en bus et à 25 minutes à pieds.

I did not go very far to take this photo because it is my street which is pedestrian. I am lucky to live in this peaceful place, 10 minutes from downtown by bus and 25 minutes by feet.

Cette photo a été prise le même jour que celle ci, mais dans le cas de la première, j'étais à contre-jour.

This photo was taken the same day that this one, but for the first one, I was against the light.

Jolie vue...

On aperçoit sur cette photo, à gauche, la mer puis la cathédrale de La Major, en bas, le Vieux-Port et à droite, le clocher de l'église Notre-Dame-des-Accoules.

We see on this photo, to the left, the sea and the cathedral of "La Major", below, the "Vieux-Port" and to the right, the bell tower of the church "Notre-Dame-des-Accoules".

Une maison...

J'ai eu une migraine ce week-end et je n'ai pas pu prendre de nouvelles photos. Je vous montre donc une photo prise au mois de mars. Cette jolie maison située "rue Sainte" (juste à coté de l'abbaye Saint-Victor) aurait été habitée par Paul Valéry (1871-1945).

I had a migraine this weekend so I did not take new photos. I thus show you a photo shot in March. Paul Valéry (1871-1945), a famous French writer, would have lived in this beautiful house located "rue Sainte" (near the Saint-Victor abbey).

Curiosité

Voici un édifice qui se trouve dans mon quartier. Je ne sais pas ce que cela a pu être. Peut-être une tour de guet...
Here is a building which is in my area. I don't know what it was. Maybe a watch tower...

La Rotonde d'Aix-en-Provence

Je n'ai toujours pas eu le temps de prendre de nouvelles photos mais celles que je vous montrent sont bien représentatives du temps qu'il fait aujourd'hui.

I have no time to take new photos but those whom I show you are very representative of the today weather.


Construite en 1860, la fontaine, alimentée par les eaux du Verdon, se trouvait à l'origine à l'entrée de la ville. Son bassin de 32 m de diamètre est orné de statues symbolisant la ville : la Justice (sculptée par Ramus et tournée vers le Cours Mirabeau), l'Agriculture et le Commerce (sculptée par Chabaud et tournée vers la route de Marseille) et les Beaux-Arts (sculptée par Ferrat et tournée vers la route d'Avignon). Elle est également décorée de lions, de dauphins et de cygnes chevauchés par des anges.

Built in 1860, the fountain, fed by waters of Verdon, was originally at the entrance of the city. Its 105 ft diameter basin is decorated with statues symbolizing the city: the Justice (sculpted by Ramus and turned towards the "Cours Mirabeau"), the Agriculture and the Business (sculpted by Chabaud and turned towards the road of Marseille) and the Fine art sculpted by Ferrat and turned towards the road of Avignon). It is also decorated with lions, with dolphins and with swans riding by angels.


Nous voyons ici la Justice.
Here, we see the Justice.

Thank to Miss Yves and to Marie-Noyale who ask me interesting questions. When I searched the answers to these questions, I realised I have made a mistake in my post.

Pavé Cézanne à Aix-en-Provence

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) est né, a vécu et mourut à Aix-en-Provence. En son hommage, un itinéraire de pavés en bronze permet de suivre les grandes étapes de sa vie : le collège Bourbon (aujourd’hui collège Mignet, où il scelle son amitié avec Emile Zola), la cathédrale Saint- Sauveur (où eurent lieu ses obsèques), la rue Boulegon (son dernier domicile), le Café des Deux Garçons (où il retrouve ses amis en arrière-salle) ou encore l’Hôtel de Ville (où il se marie en 1886 après 17 années de liaison cachée avec la mère de son fils).

Paul Cézanne ( 1839-1906 ) was born, lived and died at Aix-en-Provence. In its tribute, a route of bronze pavements allows to follow different moments of his life: the Bourbon school (now called the Mignet school, where he met the famous French writer Emile Zola), the cathedral "Saint- Sauveur" (where his burial took place), the "rue Boulegon" (his last place of residence), the "Café des Deux Garçons" (where he spent time with his friends) or still the City Hall (where he got married in 1886 after 17 years of hidden love with the mother of his son).

Le Vieux-Port

On trouve cette plaque sur le Quai du "Vieux-Port".

We found this plaque on the quay of the "Vieux-Port".

Fontaine à Aix-en-Provence

La plupart d'entre vous ont trouvé la réponse. C'est bien une fontaine. Il y en a deux, une de chaque coté du "Cours Mirabeau", la rue principale du centre ville d'Aix-en-Provence.

Most of you have found the answer. It is indeed a fountain. There is one of each side of the "Cours Mirabeau", the main street in downtown Aix-en-Provence.
