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

The Saint-Michel fountain was designed by Gabriel Davioud and built in 1860 during the great Haussmannian works. It occupies the entire facade of a building (26 meters high and 15 meters wide). Its ornamentation consists of a statue by Francisque Duret representing Saint Michel slaying the dragon, bronzes symbolizing four cardinal virtues (Strength, Temperance, Justice and Prudence) and two dragons spouting water jets. Today, many people stay a while to admire this unique fountain.

Voilà une fontaine originale car accolée à une façade. Ca change de la traditionnelle fontaine au milieu d'une place. Beaucoup de monde lors de ma visite.

Toujours beaucoup de monde peut etre trop autour de cette mythique fontaine. Dommage qu'on ne s'y arrete pas vraiment du fait de la foule.

Si vous passez par le quartier Saint-Michel n'hésitez pas à passer devant cette fontaine immense et magnifique. Elle est de plus très bien desservie par les transports en commun.
