The Historic Fountain of the Innocents in Paris Slated to Be Restored in 2024

Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

Approved 8 years ago at the Paris Council, the renovation of the fountain erected by Pierre Lescot in 1549 - one of the oldest in the capital - is finally entering the test phase. The €5 M project is scheduled to wrap up in 2024. The bas-reliefs by Jean Goujon will be replaced by copies and the central basin cleaned.
