Does anyone know if the Trocadero fountains and water canons will be operating this summer? I've tried Googling for the answer but haven't been successful.

The water cannons will be in operation all summer. At night, there are lighting effects.

Woo hoo! Thank you kerouac! I've only seen them in action once and they were magnificent. It seems all the other times I've been in Paris it's been winter or they've been undergoing repair. I may go twice - once during the day and definitely at night!

Is there a schedule available for September? Thanks.

Dee_Dee

xyz99, I don't know about a current schedule. But, if memory serves, when I did see them once before, they started at 15 or maybe 10 minutes before the hour. I was there in the afternoon.

I wonder when work will start on this new project.

Thanks - I wonder if there is any way to find out if this is happening every hour or just certain times. Especially that I'm not sure end of Sept is still considered "summer" or high season.

I think (might be wrong) that whatever schedule is operating during the summer will be operating in September (unless there's another renovation/repair planned.) In the past, the real change in schedule is during the winter when the fountains and cannons are turned off due to potential freezing and damage.

One may think that hot drought may effect water supply like at Versailles I believe but the Seine here provides the source and drain of the water.

Good to know that Sept is still summer schedule, we'll try to see them. Thanks!
