Fontaine de la Grille du Coq, Stone fountain in Jardins des Champs-Élysées, France.

The fountain features a circular basin with a stone basin mounted on an octagonal bronze pedestal decorated with four dolphins and leaves.

In 1840, architect Jacques Hittorff constructed this fountain as part of four additional water features in the Champs-Élysées gardens after completing Concorde fountains.

The proportions and shapes of the fountain demonstrate the architectural principles that defined public structures during the Restoration and July Monarchy periods.

Located in the northern section of Champs-Élysées gardens near Place de la Concorde, the fountain remains accessible through multiple public transportation options.

Unlike other fountains designed by Hittorff in the gardens, this structure stands out by having no sculptural decoration on its upper section.
