Fountain dating from 1839, located on Place Louis Blanc since 1977.
Fountain installed in 1839, at the corner of the traverse de la Cathédrale. At the time, it was a fountain without a basin, consisting of a fluted column on a smooth base, topped by an acroterion decorated with floral motifs. The top part, a stone sphere, was never installed. Its name comes from its shape, which recalls the Provencal folk instrument, the tambourine. When, in 1977, the square next to the church of Saint-François de Paule was created on Place Louis Blanc, the fountain with its eight cannons was installed in the center of a small square basin. Le Tambourin is a listed site.
