The Fountain of the Rivers
The Fountain of the Rivers (La Concorde, Paris) ‘There are two majestic fountains that steal the show at Place de la Concorde. Completed in 1840 when Louis-Philippe, the last king of France, reigned supreme, the Maritime Fountain (the one closest to the Seine) honors maritime commerce while the Fountain of the Rivers, to the north, pays tribute to the abundance of the Rhône and the Rhine rivers.’
