This blue Wallace
fountain, which I just discovered, has obviously been there for some three
years… It adds to some other coloured versions on which I already reported. Of
course, basically the Wallace fountains should be green, dark green. There are
some 50 original ones (from 1872), donated by Richard Wallace, but the city has
added many more… well, I already reported on all this, e.g. here and here. The
few which are in - more or less authorized - different colours can be found in
the street-art-friendly 13th arrondissement. The blue one can be
found Rue Brillat-Savarin. (There was one in the 15th
arrondissement, Porte de Versailles, but it’s obviously gone.)

There's so much history in your posts. At some point in time, you should perhaps compile all of this into a book
Bonjour cher Peter,
J'aime ces fontaines colorées ! Une petite note d'optimisme dans la grisaille de l'hiver.
Gros bisous 🌸
Qu'est ce qu'elles sont plus belles au naturel !
Beautiful fountain! Love that bright blue!
Thank you, Peter.
