[FR] Fontaine Wallace située à Paris.
Les fontaines Wallace Écouter sont des points d’eau potable publics, des fontaines qui se présentent sous la forme de petits édicules en fonte présents dans plusieurs villes dans le monde.
Dessinées par Charles-Auguste Lebourg, elles tiennent leur nom de Richard Wallace, le philanthrope britannique qui finança leur édification. Elles sont souvent associées par les étrangers à l'image de Paris, car c'est dans cette ville qu’elles furent implantées en premier et qu’on en trouve le plus en France.
[EN] Wallace Fountain located in Paris.
The Wallace Listening Fountains are public drinking water points, fountains in the form of small cast iron dies in many cities around the world.
Designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, they take their name from Richard Wallace, the British philanthropist who financed their edification. They are often associated by foreigners with the image of Paris, because it is in this city that they were implanted first and that one finds most in France.
