Have some water !
In Paris, there are 65 public water fountains made by the Founderies d'Art du Val d'Orne at the order of Sir Richard Wallace.
He Charles-August Labourg to design these fountains to increase the amenities of strolling through the city of Paris. In 1872 Sir Wallace presented 50 of these statues to the City of Paris, and the city bought 30 more on its own.
Most of these fountains are still working, offering potable water to quench the thirst of passers-by, just as Sir Richard envisioned over 100 years ago.
