Fontaine de Jarente, Historical fountain in Le Marais district, France.
The Jarente fountain displays a Doric portico with reliefs depicting fish, cornucopias, and a bundle of rods at the end of a dead-end street.
Built in 1783 under architect Caron's direction, this fountain provided water to fish merchants established in the Impasse de la Poissonnerie.
The fountain's sculptures and decorations reflect themes of abundance and nature, typical of 18th-century Parisian public architecture.
Located at 2 rue de Jarente in the 4th arrondissement, this stone and bronze fountain remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The bronze mascaron shaped like a satyr's head still releases water near ground level, maintaining its original purpose.
