Arles, France: Fontaine Amedee Pichot

This is a nice way to be welcomed into the city of Arles. The fountain was first used in 1887, and it is named after the mayor. According to reports, he paid for the chance to have his own fountain in his city. Nothing like trying to ensure your own legacy.

It's a better piece of architecture than it is a fountain, which doesn't work any more. That makes it worth a stop for a photo.
