This is a picture of one of the fountains in the center of town.  Aix is known as the city of fountains and I believe it as there is one on every corner.  I wonder if Seattle shouldn't be named the city of Starbucks.  The town is very beautiful, and it is built somewhat in the same style of Paris. There are large etoiles (literally stars, but in this sense they are points in the city from which six or seven streets start from and so if seen from above they look like stars) so you cannot follow certain streets to get to different areas because they will most likely dead end and you'll have to start all over again.  Most of the etoiles begin around large fountains like this one.  This is the Rotonde Mirabeau which is a short bus ride from the university.
