Building designed by Louis Visconti in Paris, also known as the Fountain of the Cardinal Points
This monumental work of art is hard to miss. Designed by Louis Visconti, it has been enthroned on the forecourt of the church of the same name since 1848. It features statues of four bishops who were famous orators during the reign of Louis XIV: Fénelon, Bossuet, Fléchier and Massillon. The fountain is also known as the "cardinal points" fountain, as the four bishops it honors were never named cardinals.

Très belle fontaine qui impressionne par ses statues de lions monumentales. Les photographes vont se régaler. A ne pas louper.

C'est la fameuse fontaine des "quatre point cardinaux" (sic). Aucun de ces évêques ne fut cardinal. Une pièce majeure de l'histoire anecdotique du quartier.
