fontaine de la Halle aux Blés
The Fountain of the Halle aux Blés is a Parisian construction located in the lower part of the Medici column. The original fountain was installed in 1757, when Halle aux Blés was built on the site of the former Soissons hotel. Its basin and tap are masked by a metal plate on which is engraved the date of the renovation of 1812.
