Cathedral of Saint Sauveur, wall decoration in the sacristy/apse, Aix-en-Provence, France
The apse/choir of Aix’s Gothic cathedral was painted in the 19th century, influenced by the restoration of Sainte Chapelle in Paris, which was taking place at approximately the same time. I went a little crazy with the clarity and vibrancy but the pinks really are pink.

15th-Century Fountain of Espéluque, Aix-en-Provence, France
The oldest part of Fountain of Espéluque in Aix. The original 15th-century fountain, inset into a later support, was moved several times before being installed in the Place de l’Archevêtché by Georges Vallon in 1756. I couldn’t find any information about the 1618 date, which must have been added after the original installation.
