Fontaine de la Grave, Stone fountain near Quai des Salinières, Bordeaux, France.
The octagonal fountain features a central column resting on a square base with four mascarons pouring water into adjacent basins.
Richard-François Bonfin constructed the fountain in 1788, relocating it northward to face Place de la Grave and Rue Pichadey.
The stone garland at the column base displays intertwined crescents representing the coat of arms of Bordeaux.
The fountain stands at coordinates 44.8352418, -0.5640273, near St. Michael's Basilica and the Stone Bridge in Bordeaux.
An April 1788 cross-section revealed a cavity within the column designed to house the fountain's operating mechanism.
