Fontaine des Innocents

After coming out of Dupont Art Center, I found a coffee shop to drink coffee. A small fountain, but the building is quite old, but not very special. Maybe we don’t know about its history. I hurriedly took a look and drank coffee.

The fountain is inspired by the tranquility of ancient Rome. It is a monument decorated with nymphs and other water gods.

I don't know who started this Chinese name. It seems that there is also a saying called Innocent Fountain ⛲️ located in the chatelet area, next to the Pompidou Art Center. ⭐️ This fountain looks very heavy, there is no vitality, no spring water, after checking, I know that it is a burial ground for the poor who died in the plague. Now it is a small square, surrounded by many cafes, very lively.

Go along Rue Berger Street next to the Pompidou Cultural Center and you'll find the Bd. Sebastopol Avenue. Cross the Avenue and go on. It's the famous fountain without dirt. St-Eustache Church can also be seen in its place. Once a cemetery for burying the poor who died in the plague, it is now the focus of various cultural activities in Paris.
