Fontaine Saint Michel, Paris , France - 2017

[parisfind]

Looking at the statue of archangel Michael vanquishing the Devil, along with its fountain hiding the end of the building located on the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel and Rue Saint-Andre des Arts. The fountain was designed by architect Gabriel Davioud and constructed from 1858 to 1860 as part of urban planner Georges-Eugene “Baron” Haussmann makeover of Paris. The fountain measures 85 feet by 50 feet, requiring the work of nine different sculptors: Henri Alfred Jacquemart crafted the two winged dragons on either side of the fountain; Francisque Duret sculpted the central figure of Saint Michael; Felix Saupin designed the rock under the statue of Saint Michael. The bas-reliefs and ornamental foliage were designedby Noemie Constant; and smaller statues representing the cardinal virtues were sculpted by Jean-Auguste Barre, Claude-Jean Guillaume, Louis-Valentin Robert, Charles-Alphonse Gumery, and August-Hyacinthe Debay. . . . #Paris #saintmichel #fontainesaintmichel #parisphoto #parisjetaime #parislife #parisart #parismonamour #parismaville #parisgram #parislove #pariscity #villedeParis #Iloveparis #parisfind (at Fontaine Saint-Michel de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8PySfBjrh/?igshid=nolck9owx2l6

Here be dragons: as approaching Allied armies closed in on Paris, the people rose against the German occupation. The Fontaine stands as an homage to those who fought the ultimate battle. #france #paris #fontainesaintmichel #boulevardsaintmichel (at Fontaine Saint-Michel de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EsBfyAO2U/?igshid=yh9eo1teekbb
