dc.descriptionSouth fountain (1995), seen from the intersection of Rue du Val-de-Grâce (foreground); This site consists of the space created in front of the church of Val-de-Grâce by Rue Val-de-Grâce and the Rue Saint-Jacques. It exists because Mansart planned a set back from the street for the church; the size of which was precisely calculated so that from the forecourt the dome would disappear completely behind the frontispiece. It takes its name (in 1930) from the military doctor and bacteriologist Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran (1845-1922). Laveran won the Nobel Prize in 1907. The two modern fountains were installed in 1995. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/31/2014)en_US
