When hub and I were in Paris last May we kept coming across these beautiful sculptures, each one exactly the same and each one with a stream of water running down the middle. It didn't take long to realize, after seeing a number of people filling empty bottles, that these were the Parisians' answer to drinking fountains.

Quite a different take to drinking fountains alright :D
Wow, that is different! Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing your photo.
That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Water fountains are usually not a pretty site. I love how they made them a work of art.
Very impressive drinking fountains.
Have a great weekend

You know, I've been to Paris, and I didn't make the connection. Oops. Great picture.
I've been to Paris twice now, but don't think I ever noticed these. Yet another reason to go back!
Never been to Paris, but what an interesting concept. Statue that's a water fountain all in one. Very neat!
I want to visit Paris...and London and Berlin and Prague. And Dublin.
Okay, I want to visit all the places my eldest son has lived or toured.
And I love that sculptured drinking fountain!
Thanks for sharing....
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
Seriously? I've been to Paris 9 times and didn't know this.
I feel kind of pathetic now for always picturing Parisians drinking wine in my mind's eye. What a beautiful and creative take on a water fountain!
Those have to be the best drinking fountains ever! How did I not notice those when I was in Paris?!
I don't remember seeing those, but it's been 18 years since I've been to Paris.
How beautiful. I didn't know that about Paris but am not surprised.
I never would have guessed! How classy! :)
I wish more drinking fountains looked like this! So pretty.
That.Is.So. COOL! I love it!! What a fantastic idea. I so want to visit Paris. Next on my wish list!
I haven't made it to Paris yet, but those fabulous drinking fountains are one more reason to visit. :)
What a pretty fountain.
I would have thought they were pieces of art with a fountain. How clever.
