Saint-Sulpice Fountain

Designed by the architect Louis Visconti and unveiled in 1848, this monumental fountain is built on a base comprising three octagonal basins, arranged in a pyramid-like formation. It is adorned with four statues of eminent 17th-century prelates and orators: Bossuet, Fénelon, Fléchier and Massillon. That is why it is also known as the Fountain of the Four Bishops. You will notice the coat of arms of Paris between the paws of the carved lions.
