Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Fontaine des Tanneurs, rue des Tanneurs, Aix-en-Provence, France

Elle fut érigée au carrefour de nombreuses rues, pour alimenter en eau le huitième agrandissement de la ville. Situé sous le quartier médiéval, il s’en distingue par des rues droites et régulières construites dès la fin du 16e siècle, qui débouchaient sur la route très fréquentée allant d’Avignon à Marseille.

Cette fontaine recevait à l’origine son eau de la surverse de la fontaine de l’Hôtel de Ville. Bientôt tarie, ses canalisations étant mal entretenues, elle fut rénovée en 1792.

En 1861 il fut décidé de refaire le bassin qui fuyait. Si bien que de la fontaine d’origine il ne reste que l’urne et les éléments sculptés par Jean Chastel qui furent soigneusement retirés lors des travaux.

Le corps est en pierre de Calissanne et porte des têtes de lions fondus par Escursan. Le bassin octogonal est en pierre de Pourrières. Les pans concaves faisant face aux canons en facilitent l’accès. Elle reçoit l’eau de la ville.
