Wallace fountains are public drinking fountains designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg that appear in the form of small cast-iron sculptures scattered throughout the city of Paris, France, mainly along the most-frequented sidewalks.
 They are named after the Englishman Richard Wallace, who financed their construction.
 A great aesthetic success, they are recognized worldwide as one of the symbols of Paris.
 A Wallace Fountain can be seen outside the Wallace Collection in London, the gallery that houses the works of art collected by Sir Richard Wallace and the first four Marquesses of Hertford.
