This is the fountain of Roi René.
The statue is of René of Anjou. Who he?
He was born in 1409 and lived until 1480.
He was also King René I of Naples.
René was no friend of the Burgundians who held him prisoner for 10 months and then a further two year spell after angering Philip the Good.
He took part in negotiations with the English at Tours in 1444 during the Hundred Years War.
He retired to Aix-en-Provence and the statue shows him holding a bunch of muscat grapes which he is said to have introduced to Provence.
