Fontaine des Haudriettes, Neoclassical fountain in Le Marais, Paris, France.

The Fontaine des Haudriettes is a freestanding Neoclassical stone fountain on Place Patrice-Chéreau. Its wide side holds a basin fed by a lion-head spout set in a circular recess; above is a bas-relief of a reclining naiad by Pierre-Philippe Mignot. A blank slab flanked by two carved brackets rises to a triangular pediment and a curved projecting cornice.

Built in 1764 under architect Pierre-Louis Moreau-Desproux's direction, it became a registered historical monument in 1925. This official recognition highlighted the architectural value that Paris placed on fountains from this era.

The bas-relief of a reclining naiad, seen from behind among reeds and leaning on her urn, is by Pierre-Philippe Mignot. He showed its plaster model at the 1765 Salon (no. 222), his last appearance at the Royal Academy's exhibition. The name comes from the Rue des Haudriettes where the fountain stands.

The fountain stands on Place Patrice-Chéreau at no. 1 Rue des Haudriettes, where Rue des Archives and Rue des Quatre-Fils meet. It is a free-standing structure, so you can walk around it and see the relief panel from the front; the basin side faces the square.

The fountain was relocated in 1933 during street widening projects, showing how urban growth and historical preservation sometimes pulled in different directions. This move is a rare example of Paris adapting rather than demolishing its older structures to accommodate the city's changing needs.
