Fontaine du Château d'eau, Bronze fountain in 12th arrondissement, France.
The Fontaine du Château d'eau features eight bronze lions positioned around a circular basin with three upper tiers made of stone and bronze materials.
Gabriel Davioud designed this fountain in 1869 to replace an earlier structure, but construction delays occurred due to the 1870 war and Paris Commune.
The fountain incorporates sculptures by Henri Alfred Jacquemart, including water-spouting lions and stone female heads created by Louis Villeminot on the lower basin.
Located at Place Felix-Eboue, the fountain serves as a central meeting point with convenient access to nearby shops, cafes, and public transportation.
Originally installed at Place de la République, the entire fountain structure was relocated to its current position during the 1880s urban renovations.
