Fountain built in 1860, occupying the entire facade of a building in Paris

Inaugurated in 1860 when Baron Haussmann was transforming Paris, the Saint-Michel fountain (26 meters high and 15 meters wide) is the work of Gabriel Davioud. It was built to conceal the gable wall at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel, Place Saint-André-des-Arts and Rue Danton.

tres belle fontaine avec une large place devant. c'est le point de rendez-vous de nombreuses personnes. A voir principalement en hiver quand les eaux sont gelés, ce qui donne un vrai charme à l'edifice.
