Fontaine de Mars, Neoclassical fountain in 7th arrondissement, France.
The Fontaine de Mars stands at 129 Rue Saint-Dominique, featuring architectural elements that characterize the early nineteenth-century neoclassical design principles.
The fountain, constructed between 1806 and 1809 by François-Jean Bralle and Pierre-Nicolas Beauvallet, marks water levels from the substantial Paris flood of 1910.
The structure combines practical water distribution with artistic elements, reflecting the French approach to municipal infrastructure during the First French Empire.
Located near the Eiffel Tower, this wheelchair-accessible fountain maintains its original function while receiving protection under French heritage preservation laws.
The fountain bears specific markings that indicate the water levels reached during the 1910 Paris flood, serving as a historical water measurement reference point.
