At first glance, this little fountain at the corner of Rue Mouffetard and Rue du Pot-de-Fer doesn’t look like much. And yet it is a historic monument, four centuries old! A relic of the Paris that existed before Baron Haussmann, a chapter in the history of the capital.
The Pot-de-Fer Fountain, a landmark dating back to 1624, has witnessed its share of events. This Sunday, June 21, 2026, the fountain will serve as the backdrop for a special concert, held for the Fête de la Musique à Paris.
Yes, as every summer, La Fête de la Musique is back! Here’s a golden opportunity to go out, celebrate, dance, sing, and soak up the magical atmosphere that makes Paris the most beautiful city in the world. From streets to avenues, from parks to the banks of the Seine, passersby discover seasoned performers and hopeful newcomers ready to share their art. La Fête de la Musique invites us to come together and gather to the sound of a guitar, a saxophone, or a recorder (and why not?).
So what tunes can we expect to hear in front of the Pot-de-Fer fountain this Sunday, June 21, 2026? To find out, see you there...
