Fontaine Amédée-Larrieu, Historical fountain in central Bordeaux, France.
The fountain features a central triangular structure with maritime decorations, including dolphins, tritons, and nymphs carrying seashells.
The fountain was commissioned by Eugene Larrieu to honor his father Amédée and was inaugurated on May 15, 1902 after construction by Raoul Verlet.
The sculptures combine maritime and wine themes, reflecting the connection between Bordeaux's port activities and wine production through detailed stone carvings.
Two additional fountains flank the main structure on Place Amédée-Larrieu, at the intersection of Louis-Mie and Belfort streets.
The north face incorporates maritime elements and wine symbols, while the south face displays dolphins and tritons supporting a seashell carried by a nymph.

Bordeaux offers photographers a range of subjects spanning from medieval architecture to contemporary structures. The medieval Porte Cailhau and the Grosse Cloche represent the city's historic gateways, while the Pont de Pierre, the oldest bridge in the city, crosses the Garonne River. The Place de la Bourse with its Miroir d'Eau attracts visitors and photographers alike. The Basilica of Saint-Michel dominates the southern district with its freestanding bell tower, and the Grand Théâtre displays neoclassical design at Place de la Comédie. The city also presents its Roman past at the Palais Gallien, an ancient amphitheater ruin, as well as the Pey-Berland Tower beside the cathedral. Along the waterfront, Quai Richelieu and Quai des Chartrons provide perspectives on the river and the historic warehouses of the wine trade. The Jardin Public represents a formal urban park, while more recent developments such as the Cité du Vin and the modern Pont Jacques Chaban-Delmas showcase contemporary Bordeaux. From the pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine to hidden passages like Passage Sarget, the city offers numerous opportunities for different photographic approaches.
