Description

Unlike Rome, Paris is not widely associated with its fountains; however, the City of Lights boasts over 300. Some are monumental and world-renowned, such as the Trocadéro fountain and those in the Place de la Concorde. Others are discreetly located on street corners, in parks, or at the end of dead-end streets.<br> We're so used to seeing them that we hardly pay attention to them anymore.<br><br> Who has taken the time to examine the Saint Michel fountain in detail? During this walk, you will therefore have the time to observe it as well as other spectacular or simpler fountains that line the Boulevard Saint Michel.<br><br> Through its fountains, you will also have the opportunity to explore a neighborhood with a rich academic history. You will encounter schools, hear about legends, and delve into Antiquity.
