Fontvieille (French pronunciation: [fɔ̃vjɛj]; Occitan: Fòntvielha) is a commune in the camargue region in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France.
The commune was created in 1790, out of the territory of Arles.
The Occitan language poet Brémonde de Tarascon (1858–98) grew up on the Darbousille farm at Fontvieille, where she died. [3]
