Place des Cardeurs
The elongated Place des Cardeurs combines restored façades, terraces and open public space behind the town hall. Its present form comes from a twentieth-century opening within the old town.

Look at the length of the square and the buildings around it before assuming that every old-town space has remained unchanged for centuries. The modern opening has become part of Aix's social geography, with terraces and Jean Amado's fountain giving it clear points of interest. It suits an unhurried observation of the city, including an evening stroll, rather than a museum-style visit.
