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 Fontaine de Léda was one of fifteen fountains commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in his decree of Saint-Cloud on 2 May 1806, designed by water engineer François-Jean Bralle with sculptor Achille Valois. Built in 1806–1808 against a private garden wall at rue de Vaugirard and rue du Regard, it was moved in 1864 to the back of the Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Garden, where architect Alphonse de Gisors added a demi-cupola, two naiads by Jean-Baptiste-Jules Klagmann and three bronze mask spouts.

The relief shows Leda holding the swan on her knees, with Cupid shooting an arrow and roses around them; water once trickled from the swan's bronze beak. The subject, Jupiter turned swan to seduce Leda, drew criticism from Amaury Duval in 1812 as unfit for public view, yet the fountain stayed popular. The name Léda comes from this myth, while the alternative name du Regard recalls its first site at rue du Regard.

The fountain is attached to the rear face of the Medici Fountain, so you reach it by walking around behind that monument rather than from the garden's main paths. The three bronze mask spouts sit at the base, below the bas-relief panel.

The fountain's original name, Fontaine du Regard, came from the rue du Regard corner where it stood until 1864. When Gabriel Davioud moved it behind the Medici Fountain, the eagle holding a laurel crown that topped the pediment, a symbol of Napoleon's empire, was removed by another sculptor.
