Fontaine Saint-Michel

This was a great option right off the metro when going to Sainte Chappelle. The croissant and fresh bread were amazing!! The omelet was underwhelming but if you stick with the French breakfast you can't go wrong!!

Fontaine Saint-Michel is a stunning landmark in the heart of Paris, with its grand statues and flowing water adding to the city's charm—just a short walk from Notre Dame, making it a perfect stop while exploring!

Interesting monument with a cute Christmas market still open on January 1st. (10-15 stalls maybe).

Fountain etched into building near Seine River and Notre Dame Cathedral. It is a fairly large foundation and quite imposing. Close to main roads so extra caution would be necessary especially if travelling with children.

This is a stunning monumental fountain, located at the beginning of a housing structure, we love how the french cant bare, an empty space, a square and an ornament will fill the space, of course.

Located at the vibrant Place Saint-Michel in the Latin Quarter, the Saint-Michel Fountain (Fontaine Saint-Michel) is a striking symbol of Parisian charm and historical significance. Built in 1860 during the reign of Napoleon III, the fountain was designed by Gabriel Davioud as part of Baron Haussmann’s grand urban renovation of Paris. The centerpiece of the fountain is an impressive sculpture of Saint Michael, the Archangel, triumphing over evil as he slays a dragon. This dramatic depiction is surrounded by intricate carvings, elegant columns, and flowing water, creating a sense of movement and life. The pink marble and green bronze details add a touch of grandeur, making it a standout piece of 19th-century art. The Saint-Michel Fountain serves as more than just a visual masterpiece; it is a popular meeting point for locals and tourists alike. Its location, just steps away from the Seine River and Notre-Dame Cathedral, makes it a perfect starting point for exploring the lively Latin Quarter, filled with cafes, bookshops, and history. A visit to this iconic fountain offers a glimpse into Paris’s rich architectural heritage and serves as a serene yet vibrant spot to take in the city’s timeless allure.

Initial concerns when we saw the current rating, but we were already seated. Moules Frites and Omelette tasty. Cocktails quite good! Sweet, lovely setting.

Saint Michel overall is a really nice place to visit in Paris. It has plenty of places to eat from kebabs to French cuisine. There is plenty of places to have beer, wine or a coffee. Great place to wander around.
