Stravinsky Fountain - The first modern fountain in Paris!

This fantastic fountain next to the Centre Pompidou in the centre of Paris was the first modern fountain in Paris. It was first inaugurated in 1983 and it is a 580 square meters big fountain made by the Niki de Saint Phalle and her husband Jean Tinguely. Jean Tinguely had first made one in Basel that the had gotten very famous but it was a new thing to put Niki de Saint Phalles sculptures in it. The fountain is located on the Stranvinsky Square and I really like to sit on one of all the cafés next to it and have a coffee and just enjoy when all the parts moves and sprays water in the summer. All the 16 statues represents different parts of one of Stravinskys major work of music - The Rite of Spring. In the front you  can see the Firebird that streches out it's arm. It's a - Don't miss in Paris!
