Fontaine de Léda, Historical fountain in Jardin du Luxembourg, France.
Fontaine de Leda is a stone fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg featuring a bas-relief sculpture. The work shows a female figure with a bird from whose beak water flows.
The fountain was built in the early 1800s as part of Paris urban transformations. It was installed along with other fountains to enhance the gardens.
The fountain depicts a scene from ancient mythology that visitors can observe in the garden setting. The stone carving tells of a well-known story from classical antiquity.
The fountain is located in the southern area of the garden and is easily accessible from various entrances. You can take time to explore it along with other attractions in the park.
Decorative elements such as dolphins and a ship's helm ornament the sides of the fountain. These maritime motifs add an extra layer of artistic design to the work.
