Le Quartier Mazarin by rickyvilla81
South of the Cours Mirabeau is the old planned estate of the Quartier Mazarin, townhouses for the richer Provencaux, constructed in the name of Cardinal Mazarin in the 17th century. Rue Mazarine and Rue de 4 Septembre meet at the Place des Quatre Dauphins, which features a fountain on which four dolphins pour cool water (see photo). The old buildings of this quarter are not spectacular, but are so well preserved as to be worth a look. Pass through on your way to the Parc Jourdain.
