Origin and history

The Amédée Pichot fountain is a historical monument located in Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is at the crossroads of Amédée-Pichot, Voltaire and Cavalry streets. This fountain was completely classified by order of 24 November 2023 attesting to its heritage and architectural value. It belongs to the public domain of the municipality of Arles and is not cadastral.

The fountain is the result of a collaboration between several renowned artists and architects. Joseph Flandrin was the architect, while Paul Balze, a painter, and Auguste Cain, a sculptor, contributed to his creation. These names evoke a neat artistic creation, typical of the public monuments of that time. The precise location of the fountain, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), remains a central point in the Arlesian urban fabric.

The inscription of the Amédée Pichot fountain as historical monuments in 2023 underscores its cultural importance and its integration into the local heritage. This classification protects the entire structure, guaranteeing its preservation for future generations. The fountain thus embodies an artistic and urban heritage, reflecting the history and identity of Arles.
