Fontaine Saint-Michel

Built during the Second Empire, the Fontaine Saint-Michel stands as a striking landmark in Paris’ Latin Quarter. Flanked by red marble columns, the fountain features a grandiose bronze sculpture of the archangel Michael triumphing over the devil, inspired by Raphael’s painting ‘Saint Michael Vanquishing Satan,’ which is housed in the Louvre. Visitors can admire the intricate details and the imposing presence of the fountain, which adds a dramatic touch to the bustling streets of the Quartier Latin.
