The Wallace fountain in the city centre - HFF

The Wallace fountain in the city centre - HFF
Wallace fountains are drinking water points in the form of small cast iron sculptures. Most of them can be found throughout Paris, where they were first erected. They are named after the Englishman Sir Richard Wallace, who designed and financed their construction in the 19th century.

LA FONTAINE WALLACE DU CENTRE-VILLE. Les fontaines Wallace sont des points d'eau potable sous forme de petites sculptures en fonte. La plupart d'entre elles se trouvent dans toute la ville de Paris, où elles ont été érigées en premier. Elles portent le nom de l'Anglais Sir Richard Wallace, qui a conçu et financé leur construction au 19ème siècle.

DER WALLACE-BRUNNEN IM STADTZENTRUM. Die Wallace-Brunnen sind öffentliche Trinkwasserspender in Form kleiner gusseiserner Skulpturen. Die meisten befinden sich im gesamten Stadtgebiet von Paris, wo sie als erstes errichtet wurden. Sie sind benannt nach dem Engländer Sir Richard Wallace, der im 19. Jh. ihren Bau entwarf und finanzierte.

Thanks Peter, they are well-known in Paris where they had been first erected in the 19th century. But there they are dark green. Wishing you a good Sunday.

Ach, und ich dachte, sie seien zu ehren von Edgar Wallace errichtet worden ;-)
Diese hier sieht aber auch besonders hübsch und fotogen aus. Und dazu noch die strahlendblaue farbe, wie der sommerhimmel.

HFF, Christa, und ein schön sommerliches winterwochenende! ;-)
21 months ago.
Christa1004 club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Danke Edna, nein, mit diesem Edgar hat er nichts zu tun, sein Krimi hiess "die blaue Hand"... Und auch wenn der sommerliche Winterhimmel eher blassblau ist, bleibt der Brunnen immer knallig blau ;-)) Wünsche dir einen gemütlichen 4. Adventssonntag.
