One of the Wallace Fountains at a tiny square (triangle) between rue Bréa and rue Vavin by Beausoleil

The Wallace Fountains are public drinking fountains designed by Sir Richard Wallace and sculpted by Charles-Auguste Lebourg. They are large cast-iron sculptures scattered throughout the city of Paris that provide clean drinking water. We fill our water bottles when we pass one. The final four caryatids on each fountain represent kindness, simplicity, charity and sobriety. The City of Paris web site has a map of all the fountains. Sir Wallace funded 50 but the number has doubled over the years.
