Best Fountains in Paris
 

Hi:

We will be visiting Paris in November. I would like to see some unique or beautiful fountains. Does anyone have any favorites or suggestions?


Thanks!

One of my favorites is in the square at St. Sulpice. I find it to be a peaceful spot to sit and relax.

Katie, here is a virtual tour for you.

That's what I love about this forum.You want fountains,voila,here they are!

I love the very ornate guilded fountains on Place de La Concorde with the 3,2000 year old obelisk from Luxor towering above.

Oops, make that a mere 3,200 yeras!

and don't miss the wacky collection outside the centre pompidou.

drempel: The Stravinsky Fountain by Niki de Saint Phalle is a real favorite of mine. I'm glad you added a mention of it.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Now I can figure out where some of my past pictures were taken! Merci

Less grand but quite elegant are the "Wallace" fountains, located all over Paris (and also in other cities, too).
