The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Avant la dernière guerre, la fontaine était placée dans l'axe d'une petite place dont les immeubles, situés à proximité, ont été détruits par les bombardements. A l'origine, elle est conçue pour être englobée dans une construction ou tout au moins pour être adossée à un bâtiment.

History
Before the last war, the fountain was placed in the axis of a small square whose buildings, situated nearby, were destroyed by bombing. Originally, it was designed to be incorporated into a building or at least to be set against a building.
