Description
Français : Fontaine des Neuf-Canons, cours Mirabeau, Aix-en-Provence (France).

Le cours Mirabeau fut construit sur l’antique route d’Arles à l’Italie, qui passait au pied des remparts de la ville d’Aix. Une servitude datant du 12e siècle établissait à Aix un abreuvoir où les moutons de la Crau venaient se désaltérer dans leur transhumance vers les Alpes.

Construite en 1691, cette fontaine reprenait cette fonction, comme le montre une margelle surbaissée, à la taille des moutons et un bassin cruciforme aux bras allongés permettant à l’origine de faire boire de nombreux animaux en même temps.

Deux des bras du bassin furent tronqués pour faciliter la circulation automobile.

La fontaine crache de l’eau par neuf canons, répartis en deux vasques superposées, plus un au sommet, pour en augmenter le débit.

Elle est alimentée par l’eau de la ville.
