The Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are shaping up to be THE not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of culture and history! This annual event, to be held this year on September 20 and 21, 2025, invites you to discover or rediscover the country's architectural and artistic treasures, often inaccessible to the general public. In Paris, the Fontaine Stravinsky, located in the lively Centre Pompidou district, is one of the places to discover this year.
The Stravinsky Fountain, designed by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle in 1983, is an emblematic work of the 20th century. Dedicated to the composer Igor Stravinsky, the fountain comprises 16 animated sculptures that dance to the rhythm of the water. These colorful sculptures, a blend of metal and plastic, evoke the playful, avant-garde world of Tinguely and de Saint Phalle. Situated a stone's throw from the Centre Pompidou, the Fontaine Stravinsky bears witness to the artistic effervescence of Paris in the 1980s, making it an essential part of the city's contemporary heritage.
This place, which combines music, sculpture and movement, is a veritable hymn to creativity. In addition to its artistic aspect, the fountain is also a space for relaxation and contemplation, offering an idyllic setting for a break in the heart of the city. An opportunity to discover one of Paris's hidden gems, where art and history meet to the delight of visitors!
