Paris, France: Fontaine Louvois

Public parks in great European cities need a little bling to get up to speed. Louvois Square followed that rule as it features Fontaine Louvois.

The square dates back to 1830, as a theater was demolished on the site. The fountain came along less than a decade later.

This is said to be a tribute to four great rivers of France, with four women adding support in the middle and all sorts of ornate features filling out the design. It's a good spot to stop and watch Paris go by.
