Foutain of 9 cannons

On the cours Mirabeau, a few minutes from our shop, the Nine-Spout Fountain (Fontaine des Neuf-Canons) is one of the oldest and most endearing in Aix-en-Provence. Low and circular, it dates from the late 17th century; it is said to have served as a watering trough for the flocks crossing the town during the transhumance.

Our Aix workshop simply had to pay tribute to it. This decor piece reproduces the Nine-Spout Fountain in plaster, for our 6 and 9 cm collection santons. Set in the middle of the village square, it draws water carriers, shepherds and sheep around it and instantly gives the Nativity scene a flavor of Aix.

At 6 cm, it fits into an already well-stocked family Nativity scene. It is handmade in our Aix-en-Provence workshop, where our family has been creating santons and decor since 1934.

Before setting it up at home, you can go and see the original on the cours Mirabeau, then discover our version in the shop at 65 cours Gambetta. It is carefully wrapped in paper and then bubble wrap and ships within 2 to 3 business days.
