巴黎奥运会期间，这也是一个参观巴黎这座城市的绝佳机会。巴黎中心区的市长阿里尔-威尔作为我们的导游，带领大家欣赏城区的喷泉，这是一次真正沉浸式的体验！
Witnessing the Paris of the 19th century, the 1200 drinking fountains in the city serve as both functional objects and contemporary creations, contributing to the urban and historical heritage of Paris. Taking a walk through the city allows us to explore the intersection between its rich historical heritage and the new ecological challenges it faces.
作为19世纪巴黎的见证者，这些1200个饮用喷泉不仅具有功能性，同时也是对当代艺术创作的表达，是城市市观和历史遗产的一部分。这次漫步带着我们穿越历史，同时去理解新的生态挑战。
The Wallace Fountain
The Wallace fountains are adorned with four caryatids that encourage passersby to quench their thirst. They are named after an Englishman, Sir Richard Wallace, who donated them to the city in 1872. The Wallace fountains are much more than just sources of water; they are symbols of generosity, art, and a commitment to the well-being of the people of Paris.
Their presence in the city for over a century and a half testifies to their cultural and social significance while providing Parisians and visitors convenient access to quality drinking water. Today, there are over a hundred Wallace fountains in Paris.
The Wallace Fountain on Rue du Temple is equipped with an invisible misting system, offering a refreshing experience to passersby. The area has recently been pedestrianized and enhanced with greenery, providing a Belle Époque aesthetic.
华莱士喷泉
华莱士喷泉被象征着自然和海洋的四个女像所环绕，让经过路人喝水解渴。喷泉以英国人华莱士爵士的名字命名，他于1872年将这些喷泉赠予巴黎。华莱士喷泉不仅仅是水源，也是慷慨、艺术和巴黎居民生活提升的象征。
喷泉在巴黎存在了一个半多世纪，为巴黎市民和游客获取优质饮用水提供方便的途径。如今巴黎有100多个华莱士喷泉。位于Temple街的华莱士喷泉配备了一个完全看不见的雾化系统，为路人在夏季提供了清爽的水雾体验。这条路最近已改造成为步行绿化区，展示了巴黎“美好年代”的风格。
The Stravinsky Fountain
The Stravinsky Fountain, also known as the Fountain of Automata, is located near the Centre Pompidou. It was created in 1983 by sculptors Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle as a tribute to the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. The fountain is adorned with sixteen moving sculptures that represent Stravinsky’s works. The Stravinsky Fountain has become one of the most photographed fountains in Paris and is appreciated by both residents and visitors alike.
斯特拉文斯基喷泉
斯特拉文斯基喷泉，也被称为自动喷泉，位于蓬皮杜艺术中心附近。是由雕塑家让·丁格利和尼基·德·圣·法勒于1983年创作，以向俄罗斯作曲家伊戈尔·斯特拉文斯基致敬。喷泉上装饰着十六个动态雕塑，代表着斯特拉文斯基的作品。斯特拉文斯基喷泉已成为巴黎上镜率最高的喷泉之一，深受居民和游客的喜爱。
The Sparkling Fountain
Craving bubbles? Paris made a pioneering move as the first city in France to introduce free sparkling water at its public fountains. The initiative began in 2010 with the installation of the first sparkling water fountain in the Jardin de Reuilly, and has since expanded to include a total of 17 sparkling fountains across the city. These fountains offer residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy high-quality sparkling water, providing a refreshing and sustainable alternative to bottled beverages.
气泡喷泉
想要气泡水吗？巴黎是法国第一个在公共喷泉中免费提供气泡水的城市。第一个气泡喷泉于2010年安装在Reuilly花园，现在整个城市已经有了17个气泡水喷泉。这些喷泉让居民和游客享受到优质的气泡水。
The Maubuée Fountain
The Maubuée Fountain, is one of the oldest fountains in Paris, dating back to 1392. Its current location near the Centre Pompidou makes it a discreet yet fascinating point of interest for residents and visitors. It is an architectural and historical treasure, representing the long tradition of public fountains in Paris.
莫布埃喷泉
莫布埃喷泉座是巴黎最古老的喷泉之一，可以追溯到1392年。它目前位于蓬皮杜艺术中心附近，是一个低调但引人入胜的观光点。这里是一座建筑和历史的宝藏，代表了巴黎公共喷泉的悠久传统。
The Fountain of the Innocents
The Fountain of the Innocents is an iconic monument in the Les Halles neighborhood of Paris, dating back to the 1500s. This remarkable work of French Renaissance is adorned with scenes and mythological creatures.
The recent restoration of the fountain, completed in June 2024, has restored its splendor, offering an exceptional opportunity to discover the five nymph bas-reliefs sculpted by Jean Goujon, which had been removed from the monument during the works.
天使喷泉
天使喷泉是巴黎哈尔区的标志性建筑，可以追溯到1500年代。这座法国文艺复兴时期的杰作装饰有美丽的女神和神话生物。最近的修复工程于2024年6月完成，重新焕发了这座哈尔区标志性纪念碑的光彩。这次修复让我们可以重新欣赏由让·古容雕刻的五个女神浮雕，这些浮雕在修复期间曾被取下。
A Network of Water in Paris
Eau de Paris is committed to making drinking water accessible to all Parisians by implementing initiatives such as the « Ici, je choisis l’eau de Paris » (Here, I choose Paris water) network. This network aims to combat single-use plastic by offering the opportunity to refill one’s water bottle for free throughout the city. This initiative aims to encourage the use of a sustainable alternative to plastic bottles while providing convenient access to quality water.
巴黎饮水网络
巴黎饮水公司致力于让所有巴黎市民都能够获得免费饮用水，通过推出“Ici, je choisis l’eau de Paris”（我选择巴黎水）的饮水系统。旨在通过这个网络在整个城市免费提供给饮用水，抵制一次性塑料瓶。这个措施鼓励使用可持续替代品来减少塑料瓶的使用，并为巴黎市民提供便捷的优质饮用水，目的减少与塑料消费相关的环境影响。
Meeting with
Ariel Weil,
the Mayor of Central Paris
What is your favorite place in Central Paris?
It is difficult to answer that question because Central Paris is filled with beautiful places. It contains nearly 80% of the most stunning sights in Paris. When it comes to churches, Notre-Dame, Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois, and Saint-Eustache are incredible, each with its own remarkable features. Fountains can be found throughout the area, and the Seine offers splendid views with its bridges, which are true works of art. Ultimately, the entire neighborhood is beautiful.
Is it the neighborhood of your grandparents?
My grandparents arrived in France after the war as survivors of concentration camps. Like many poor migrants, they settled in this neighborhood, which was then a place of welcome for very impoverished immigrants. My mother grew up here, and when I was little, I often visited my grandparents, spending a lot of time at their home. I even bought the apartment they rented throughout their lives. Now, I live there with my family, and my children attend the same public schools as my mother did. We are proud to say that we have four generations in this neighborhood.
So, you know this neighborhood well?
It was my childhood neighborhood. I have frequented it since I was born, and I know all its aspects. When I walk on Rue des Rosiers, there are still old shopkeepers who pinch my cheeks, having known me since I was little, and who make me little cakes when I pass by. So, I have quite an intimate knowledge of this neighborhood. However, Central Paris has a history that goes back centuries. I spend a lot of time at the Carnavalet Museum, the Museum of the History of Paris, to discover all the facets of the city.
What do you want to do in this neighborhood?
What excites me the most in life is creating. Creating squares and gardens is something extraordinary. I have had the opportunity to create several squares and gardens in Central Paris. My fundamental goal is to preserve, clean, and cherish our heritage while ensuring that it is not just a museum but a vibrant place where people live. This involves building social housing and improving schools and nurseries. The area is frequented by a diverse range of people, both in terms of age and social background. My project is to beautify this place, which I believe is the most beautiful in the world.
您在巴黎中心区最喜欢的地方是哪里？
这个问题很难回答，因为巴黎中心区有很多美丽的地方。几乎80%巴黎最美好的事物都集中在这里。巴黎圣母院、圣日耳曼-洛斯瓦尔和圣尤斯塔什教堂都非常令人惊叹，每个教堂都有自己独特的特点。各种喷泉无处不在。塞纳河和它的桥梁提供了壮丽的城市景色，其实这些桥梁本身就是真正的艺术品。整个社区都是无比美丽的。
这是您祖父母居住的社区是吗？
我的祖父母在战后作为集中营的幸存者来到法国。像许多贫困的移民一样，他们在这里定居，当时这里是移民的接收区。我的母亲在这里长大，当我还小的时候，我经常去看望我的祖父母。我在他们那里度过了很多时光。我甚至买下了他们一生租住的公寓。现在，我和我的家人住在那里。我的孩子们上的是我母亲曾经上过的公立学校。我们可以自豪地说我们在这个社区已居住了四代人。
那您很熟悉这个社区吗？
实际上，这是我属于儿时的社区。我从出生起就经常来这里，对这里的方方面面都了如指掌。当我走在 Rue des Rosiers 街上时，仍然会有老店主捏捏我的脸颊，他们从小就认识我，当我经过时，他们会给我做小蛋糕。因此，我对这个街区相当熟悉。但巴黎市中心区域的历史可以追溯到很多世纪以前。我花了很多时间在卡纳瓦罗-巴黎历史博物馆参观，了解巴黎的方方面面。
您希望给这个街区做些什么？
生活中最让我兴奋的就是创作。创造广场和花园是一件非凡的事情。我有机会在巴黎市中心创建了几个广场和花园。我的最基本目标是保护、清洁和珍惜巴黎的遗产，同时确保这里不仅仅是一个博物馆，而是一个人们生活的地方，所以需要建设社会住房、改善学校和幼儿园。无论是从年龄还是社会背景角度来看，这里都是各种类型人们经常光顾的地方。我的目标就是美化这个世界上最美丽的地方。
