Fountain dated 1828, designed by Louis Visconti and sculpted by Georges Jacquot in Paris

The Gaillon fountain stands at the foot of a mansion housing a restaurant once owned by Gérard Depardieu. Dated 1828, it was designed by Louis Visconti and sculpted by Georges Jacquot. A charming feature of the district, it replaced an earlier fountain, erected in 1707 by Jean Beausire. Its base features a small figure armed with a trident and riding a dolphin. The work faces another table well known to lovers of literature: the Drouant. This is where the Prix Goncourt is awarded.

This crossroads is the heart of the Gaillon district, probably the most pleasant in the district. The fountain, which is the setting for the terrace restaurant, makes it totally picturesque.
