Tambourin Fountain

Fountain installed in 1839, at the corner of the traverse de la Cathédrale.
At the time, it was a fountain without a basin, consisting of a fluted column on a smooth base, topped by an acroterion decorated with floral motifs. The top part, a stone sphere, was never installed.

Its name comes from its shape, which recalls the Provencal folk instrument, the tambourine.

When, in 1977, the square next to the church of Saint-François de Paule was created on Place Louis Blanc, the fountain with its eight cannons was installed in the center of a small square basin.

Le Tambourin is a listed site.
