Origin and history

The fountain of the Valori hotel is a fountain located in the city of Aix-en-Provence, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Built in the 18th century, it is part of the architectural and hydraulic heritage of the region, typical of the urban developments of this period. It is now located in Place des Quatre-Dauphins, in the garden of the Banque de France, and is one of the protected elements of the city.

The monument was listed as historical monuments by order of 15 January 1929. This official recognition underlines its heritage importance and its role in the urban history of Aix-en-Provence. The fountain is representative of 18th-century hydraulic achievements, when public fountains played a central role in water supply and urban beautification.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, indicate that the fountain is associated with the Valori hotel, although details of its sponsor or architect are not explicitly mentioned. Its current location, near the Quatre-Dauphins Square, makes it a point of interest in the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence, a city marked by a rich architectural and cultural heritage.
