"Although a slight detour from the main events of the Latin Quarter, the far western side of this neighbourhood has the Fontaine Saint-Michel, one of the largest fountains in Paris. Built during Haussmann's renovation of Paris (1853-1870), this masterpiece is built into the front of an apartment building from the same era and just next to the large boulevard Saint-Michel. Though initially planned to represent Napoleon Bonaparte, the controversies surrounding that choice led to showing archangel Michael victorious over the devil instead. "
