Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Fontaine d'Eau Chaude, dite Fontaine moussue, cours Mirabeau, Aix-en-Provence (France).

Construite en 1667 sur les plans de Jacques Fossé, dite « Fontaine moussue » par les aixois, cette fontaine était à l’origine ornée d’un triton, détruit nuitamment par des gens pris de boisson.

En 1670, elle reçut quatre angelots supportant une vasque de pierre. Cette fontaine avait une importance particulière, car placée sur le « cours à carrosses », promenade de plaisir et de parade, et dans l’axe de la rue centrale du nouveau quartier Mazarin, résidence des parlementaires.

Il fut donc décidé en 1687 d’y amener les eaux chaudes jusque là crachées par la fontaine des Bagniers. Son aspect lui vient de la prolifération de mousse et de calcaire due à une eau à 18 degrés.

En 1708 un décret interdit, non sans difficultés, que les ménagères viennent y faire leur lessive.
