La Fontaine Medicis
La Fontaine Medicis
La Fontaine Médicis might be the most romantic fountain in all of Paris -- and it's also one of the original remaining decorations of Queen Marie de Medicis. Located in the Luxembourg Gardens, it was built in the 1630's for the queen so she could reminisce about her childhood grotto in Florence, Italy in the Boboli Gardens (it is a representation of the grotto of Bountalenti). Find a chair underneath the big shady plane trees and just breathe. This is a spot of pure peacefulness.
