Fontaine de la Grille du Coq

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

The fontaine de la Grille du Coq has a circular basin enclosed by a low stone wall with rectangular panels. In the centre, a square pedestal carved with scalloped shell motifs supports a broad, shallow dark bowl whose rim is coated in green algae. Water falls in thin streams from the bowl's edge and bubbles from its top; a white spherical lamp on a slender post stands to the right.

Built in 1840 by architect Jacques Hittorff, the fountain was part of a group of water features added to refresh the gardens. The project occurred during a major period of urban redesign that shaped the Champs-Élysées as it exists today.

The name comes from the Grille du Coq, the gate of the Élysée Palace opposite which the fountain was installed. The fountain is the only one of Hittorff's four Champs-Élysées fountains whose upper part carries no sculpture; a single jet rises from the bowl and falls back into the basin.

The fountain sits in the northern section of the Champs-Élysées gardens near Place de la Concorde and is easily accessible on foot. Good public transport connections serve the area, and it is best viewed during daytime when the surroundings are fully lit.
