The form and Meaning of the Fontaine Des Innocents

Naomi Miller

The first mention of a fountain at the site of the Church of the Innocents in Paris dates from ca. 1186, when one is recorded as being placed in the wall constructed by Philip Augustus to enclose the cemetery.1 The fountain was situated at the angle where the rue aux Fers meets the rue St. Denis (text fig. 1), while the cemetery, according to the salubrious practice of the ancients, then stood outside the city precincts.2 With the opening of a nearby market, the graveyard had been converted into a well-known—indeed infamous—and busy, thoroughfare.

All these disciplines converge to view the city as a biological organism, and its formation, growth, and decline as part of a natural process. Concentrating on a historical overview, these works are excellent accompaniments to the wealth of architectural tracts now appearing devoted to specific periods of the vernacular in Paris, such as the Stately Mansions of Michel Gallet or the more humble Demeures Parisiennes of Jean Pierre Babelon and Gallets recent Paris Domestic Architecture of the Eighteenth Century.
