Aix-en-Provence

“Hot water in the City of the Thousand Fountains,” Aix-en-Provence, France, ca. 1910, by Guittard (published by C. Martinet), via Casas-Rodríguez Collection, under CC license.

The Fontaine d’Eau Chaude was the first fountain built on the Cours Mirabeau — in the 1600s. The hot water (34°C/64°F) comes from the hot springs of Bagniers. There are current photos here and here, showing it still covered in moss.

Our garden: twilight

These photos were taken yesterday about 6:20 p.m. — standing on the center steps looking down to the lower lawn and out to our view of the city and Mt. Kigali.
