post number 200 ! Bravo to me ;)A Corner fountain realized by the sculptor Pasche in 1900 according to the plans of the architect Saint-Ginest. This monumental fountain replaced a fountain built in 1740 and destroyed at the revolution. The engraved writing under the fronton “Utinam” is the motto of the town that we find in another form “plût a Dieu” engraved on other monuments.
Fontaine d'angle réalisée par le sculpteur Pasche en 1900 d'après les dessins de l'architecte Saint-Ginest. Cette fontaine monumentale a remplacé une fontaine créée en 1740 et détruite sous la révolution. L'inscription gravée sous le fronton UTINAM est la devise de Besançon que l'on retrouve sous la forme PLÛT A DIEU gravée sur d'autres monuments. (source office du tourisme )
