This fountain, designed by architect J. Michaux, is adorned with a cast-iron sculpture of Jeanne d'Arc, a copy of the statue by Marie d’Orléans (1813–1839) from the Palace of Versailles. On either side of the main basin, two commemorative plaques bear the names of two municipal councilors: that of the 1870 council, which inaugurated the water supply from the Nota, and that of the 1874 council, when the fountain was first put into operation.
