A superb Renaissance building, the Fountain of the Innocents, located in Paris.
At the heart of the Halles district, the Fontaine des Innocents owes its name to the medieval cemetery of the Innocents that once occupied the site. Erected in 1549 by Pierre Lescot and Jean Goujon to celebrate the entry of King Henri II, it was moved before finding its present location in 1858. Listed as a Monument Historique and restored in 2024, it features mythological sculptures and superimposed basins, offering a living testimony to the history of Paris.

C'est un endroit chargé de mémoire très agréable car ancien cimetière. La fontaine est vraiment jolie. Il serait dommage de passer à côté

très belle fontaine en plein centre de Paris. RER les Halles. Cette fontaine est située à la place d'un ancien cimetière. Les ossements ont été déménage dans les catacombe place Denfert Rocherau.

Très belle fontaine de style Renaissance située au centre de la place J. Du Bellay. Endroit où il fait bon faire une petite halte.
