Known as the city of fountains, Bern has more than a hundred in its city. The fountains dating from the middle of the 16th century (notably the Fountain of Justice and the Ogre) represent the wealth of the bourgeoisie. They allow the Bernese and visitors to discover the history of the medieval city and to remember that in the past it was a meeting place where the inhabitants came to get water. Eleven fountains still have elaborately painted allegorical sculptures. During your visit, stroll through the streets to discover these works!

Beaucoup de ces fontaines se trouvent dans la vieille ville. Elles sont souvent richement décorées et donnent un aspect coloré à la ville! Mais la fontaine la plus célèbre (et la plus impressionnante) est celle de l'ogre mangeur d'enfants...
