It features the Saint-Michel fountain, placed in the 6th arrondissement of Paris (France). It was built in 1860 by architect Gabriel Davioud. It includes a bronze group sculpted by Francisque Duret (1804-1865), inspired by the painting by Raphael in the Louvre, representing Saint Michael slaying the demon. The two dragons were sculpted by Henri-Alfred Jacquemart.
What a lovely stamp, more striking than the fountain itself.

You can't go wrong with a dragon sculpture. Or a dragon fountain!
