Les Jardins du Trocadéro



Les Fontaines
The Fountain of Warsaw


Between the Palais de Chaillot at Trocadero and the Seine is a garden designed by Jean-Charles Alphand for the Exposition Universelle (1878).  This array of magnificent fountains was created by Roger-Henri Expert for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in 1937.  


If you come in the evening to see the sparkling Eiffel tower, 
you can enjoy the lighted display of these cascading fountains.
