The main attractions of this square are the Stravinsky Fountain and the Georges Pompidou Center. The fountain was opened in 1983 and became a popular place among young people. This extravagant structure is a swimming pool, in which 16 mobile sculptures are placed. Some of them are metal mechanisms, while others are avant-garde figures made of plastic, painted in bright colors. From time to time, music from Stravinsky's most famous works begins to play, and they start to move, releasing jets of water. Like many Parisians, I think that such figures have no place next to the flaming gothic of the five-hundred-year-old church of Saint-Merry ...but some people really like it, so not for everyone. There are always a lot of people, eat, drink, so it's dirty. Therefore, it is better to come in the morning. To match the fountain and the Pompidou building, also in the avant-garde style.
I didn’t like it at all, but someone is delighted with the idea of ​ ​ ​ ​ creating such an instance))
