Fountain decorated with two magnificent ox heads in bronze, used as decoration for a pavilion in Paris
The Fontaine des Blanc-manteaux is adorned with two magnificent bronze heads made by Edmée Gaulle in 1819. It serves as a backdrop to a pavilion that was at the time an annex of the Blancs-manteaux market. In the 1810s, the buildings were built at the location of a former Saint-Gervais Sisters of Mercy convent. This building has had several lives. It was occupied by butchers before being entrusted to a school in 1910. The fountain is no longer operational but in the past, water came out of the muzzles of these oxen and fell into two basins. Now, the basins have disappeared.
