Overshadowed by the Church of Saint Sulpice is this fountain right outside of its frontage. I went early morning and the square was peaceful and serene. Just a few birds chirping and locals enjoying quiet moments on the benches. The fountain wasn't on but surprisingly the water is quite clean for a public fountain. Make sure you make a pit stop when visiting Saint Sulpice.

The biggest, most magnificent Fountain I’ve ever seen!
Exxelent location
An attractive fountain called the Fountain of the Four Bishops can be found at Place St. Sulpice near the edge of the St. Germain and Luxemburg districts. It is worth a quick stop if you intend to spend time in the Luxemburg district or if you are purposely seeking to visit the Church of St. Sulpice during your trip to Paris. This fountain was built by Joachim Visconti between 1844 and 1848 and features statues of past bishops on each side of the fountain. These include Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (North), Bishop Esprit Fléchier (East), Bishop Jean-Baptiste Massillon (South) and Bishop François Fénelon (West). The Fountain of the Four Bishops is quite nice to see in the warmer months of the year. However, during winter, the fountain is turned off, emptied of water and the trees, which line the square are devoid of leaves, making this a less appealing attraction and area to spend time during this part of the year.
Why does a fountain need a google rating? I don't know but it's a pretty damn cool one!
I come to this Place and the Church every time I'm in Paris. I always plan to be in the City on a Sunday so I can hear the free concerts on the magnificent, huge, organ. Sometimes the water is turned on in the enormous fountain and one can really spend hours in that setting. Very close to Hotel Pas de Calais, few blocks from Blvd. Saint Germain.
Simply one of the prettiest squares in Paris and it has a bubbling fountain in the middle. People often sit on the benches around the square reading the paper, watching their kids playing and otherwise just enjoying themselves.
The Fontaine Saint-Sulpice (also known as the Fontaine de la place Saint-Sulpice or as the Fontaine des Orateurs-Sacré) is a monumental fountain located in Place Saint-Sulpice in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It was constructed between 1843 and 1848 by the architect Louis Visconti, who also designed the tomb of Napoleon. The four figures on the fountain represent four French religious figures of the 17th century famous for their eloquence.
