Both these are of brilliant white marble.

There are also several pretty marble fountains in different parts of the city, which greatly add to its beauty.

These are not, it is true, quite so splendid as that of the Innocents, or many others at Paris, but they are fountains of clear water, and they are built of white marble.

There is one which is sheltered from the sun by a roof supported by light columns; it looks like a temple dedicated to the genius of the spring.

The water flows into a marble cistern, to which you descend by a flight of steps of delicate whiteness, and return by another.
