La Fontaine Saint-Michel (Saint Michael Fountain) was built in 1860 by French architect Davioud. The fountain's centerpiece is a bronze sculpture by Duret, inspired by a RaphaÃŽl painting in the Louvre, depicting St. Michel (St. Michael) slaying the devil over two watching dragons. .
.
Boulevard Saint-Michel was created in the 19th century by Baron Haussman to run parallel to Rue Saint-Jacques, which marks the historical North-South axis of Paris. Hausmann commissioned the fountain, which was originally proposed to be of Napoleon I, to serve as a northern terminus point, where it meets Rue Danton, and forms Place St-Michel. La Place St-Michel is the core of the Left Bank's artsy, liberal, bohemian district. It was the location of Les Miz-style citizen uprisings against the government in 1830, 1848 and 1871. In World War II, locals stood up to their Nazi oppressors here. May '68 brought about confrontations between students and university officials. The de Gaulle administration's attempts to quash the strikes with further police action inflamed the situation, leading to street battles, and a general strike of roughly two thirds of the French workforce that nearly toppled the government.
