Where To Find The 5 Most Beautiful Fountains In Paris
Dec.12.2020
Thereâs nothing like discovering a majestic historic fountain to make your day in Paris. Originally created to bring drinking water to the residents of Paris, fountains adorn many of the squares and gardens. These five fountains are some of my favorites that I return to again and again to marvel at their design and grandeur and ponder the story behind their creation.

One of the most beautiful fountains in Paris is the Marie de Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Gardens. Marie de Medici was the widow of King Henry IV and regent of the future King Louis XIII. She was not happy living at the Louvre and wanted to design a palace and gardens based on her Italian heritage. Florenceâs Pitti Palace and its Boboli Gardens were the inspiration for the Luxembourg Palace and its gardens.
