A blue one...


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 🌸
