Fontaine Pascal
At the upper end of Cours Sextius, the Pascal fountain celebrates Provençal music and dance. Dancers, a tambourine player and shell-shaped basins give the water monument its local subject.

Look for the farandole dancers above the fountain and the musician on the pedestal, rather than focusing only on the flowing water. Their presence turns the monument into a public image of Provençal culture. Its position near the passage into the old town also makes it a useful point from which to compare the broader Sextius streets with the lanes beyond.
