Villa in Jouques

In the Bouches du Rhône, 27 kilometers from Aix-en-Provence and 54 km from Marseille, lies the old village of Jouques
Nowadays it has a population of 3500, but even 60.000 years BC people already lived in Jouques, shown by remains in la grotte de l'Adaouste: Very old tools were found there deep in the ground. Serious population in Jouques began with the Romans, who setup a military station and later factories for pottery. In the first century the Romans built an aquaduct to steer water from Jouques' sources to Aix and in 1800 Jouques really began to grow into what it is nowadays, with more pottery, a paper factory and several windmills that amongst others produced flour and oil. From the ancient wall around it, Jouques has conserved its west entrance gate and some remnants of the south and northwest ringwall.
