Bassins du Petit et Grand Palais, Neoclassical fountains at Grand Palais and Petit Palais, Paris, France.
The two ornamental fountains display intricate stonework and water features positioned in front of the exhibition halls in the 8th arrondissement.
Jacques Ignace Hittorff designed these fountains during the construction of Grand Palais and Petit Palais for the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
The fountains serve as central gathering points during exhibitions, celebrations, and public events taking place around the Grand Palais complex.
Visitors can reach the fountains through multiple metro stations near Place de la Concorde, with convenient access to the Seine River.
Each fountain incorporates detailed sculptural elements that demonstrate the technical capabilities of late 19th-century French craftsmanship.
