Small south round basin, Fountain in Tuileries Garden, France
The Small South Round Basin displays geometric precision within the eastern section of the Tuileries Garden, near the green space called Petit Réserve Sud.
This water feature, introduced in 1664 during André Le Nôtre's redesign of the gardens, formed part of the extensive transformation of the Tuileries under Louis XIV.
The basin represents classical French garden design principles, emphasizing mathematical symmetry and harmonious integration with surrounding landscape elements.
Located between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre Museum, visitors can access this fountain daily from 7:00 AM, with closing times varying between 7:30 PM and 11:00 PM.
The basin originally functioned as a fish pond containing carp, reflecting the traditional use of water features in French royal gardens.
