Fontaine des Haudriettes, Neoclassical fountain in Le Marais, Paris, France.
The fountain features a central basin collecting water from a lion-head spout, with two false pilasters supporting a low dome with rounded sides.
Built in 1764 under architect Pierre-Louis Moreau-Desproux's direction, the fountain became a registered historical monument in March 1925, marking its architectural significance.
The fountain's relief sculpture of a reclining naiad among reeds, created by Pierre-Philippe Mignot, represents the period's artistic preferences in public water features.
Located at the intersection of Rue des Haudriettes and Rue des Archives, the fountain serves as a reference point for navigating the neighborhood.
The fountain underwent relocation in 1933 during street widening works, demonstrating the balance between urban development and historical preservation.
