Fontaine Subé, Monumental fountain in Place d'Erlon, France

The Fontaine Subé rises 17 meters high with a central column decorated with vine patterns and four statues representing regional rivers.

Auguste Subé donated 200,000 gold francs to construct this fountain, which replaced a statue of Louis-Jean Levesque de Pouilly in 1906.

The fountain displays four water-pouring shells representing the Suippe, Marne, Vesle, and Aisne rivers, symbolizing the regional waterways.

The fountain underwent extensive restoration work in 2016, resulting in enhanced night lighting systems and improved water flow mechanisms.

German forces removed the original bronze victory statue in 1941, leading to its replacement with a new golden angel figure in 1989.
