Place Puget is a small old-town square lined with café terraces. Its Fontaine des Trois-Dauphins is easy to spot: thick vegetation covers part of the sculpture. Once a market square, it sits near the cathedral.

More about your visit

The square has had various names and uses linked to trading goods. Today’s fountain belongs to that long history of water and urban markets. Its name refers to three dolphins, though vegetation can make the sculpture less clear at first glance.

Walk around the square to observe façades and street entrances. Terraces add to its atmosphere, but walking here is free and requires no purchase.

Place Puget works well after the market or before the cathedral. It also links the old town with the upper town’s wider perspectives. Shade does not guarantee quiet: conversations, service and visitors are part of neighbourhood life.
