Wallace fountain, Paris, France

Wallace fountain, drinking water fountain painted bright red, on the Avenue da'Ivry, in the Chinese quarter of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. In 1871, Richard Wallace offered 50 drinking water fountains to the city of Paris, whose fountains had been destroyed in the Franco-Prussian war. They were designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, based on a fountain of the innocents design. There are 108 in Paris today, traditionally painted green but increasingly in bright colours.
