Historic site and monument
Panier fountain
Toulon
This fountain is located on Cours Lafayette, the famous Toulon market sung by Gilbert Bécaud in "Les marchés de Provence". The fountain was sculpted by Monsieur Cival to a design by architect M. Gueit.
The fountain was inaugurated in 1839, replacing the Saint Michel fountain built in 1751 to supply the district and its travelling merchants. On a limestone column with a square base, nearly two meters high, sits a basket overflowing with fruit and vegetables. It resembles a basket of plenty. At the foot of this column, a half-elliptical stone washbasin was installed in 1989, at the request of merchants setting up shop on Cours Lafayette.
