The Rotonde fountain is located in the center of Place du Général de Gaulle which forms a crossroads of various traffic lanes. The Boulevard de la République is, for example, joined by the Cours Sextius to the west, Avenue des Belges to the south, Avenue Victor Hugo to the southeast, and the narrowest Rue Espariat to the north, and also leads to the Cours Mirabeau. This emblematic artery of the city of Aix-en-Provence starts from the Rotonde and heads northeast.
