On the Place de la Porte de Saint-Cloud, near to Porte de Saint-Cloud, are two monumental 10-metre-high fountains. The fountains were designed in the Art Deco style by the sculptor Paul Landowski, who designed the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. They were built in collaboration with the architects Jacques Billard and Robert Pommier in the 1930s for the 1937 Universal Exhibition. Named ‘Les Sources de la Seine’, they were the first illuminated fountains in Paris.
