Corner fountain created in 1900 by the sculptor Pasche based on the drawings of the architect Saint-Ginest. This monumental fountain replaced a fountain created in 1740 that was destroyed during the Revolution. The inscription "UTINAM" engraved under the pediment is the motto of Besançon, which can also be found engraved on other monuments in the form "PLÛT A DIEU".
