back in '81 my thought when I saw the bottle being filled was that it
was Evion's source ;-) I was photographing the
fountain itself - the frame before it on that roll tells me that...
never bothered to blow that one up... I'll go for the gag every time

Ann's "Bottled" is also excellent and gave me a real chuckle. On my three
trips to Switzerland over the decades, I constantly watched the locals
filling their Perrier bottles with water out of the public fountains. That
water is indeed better than actual Perrier.
Better, of course, to re-use the plastic bottles than to throw them away.
Those fountains are called Wallace Fountains, after the inheritor of the
Wallace Collection in London. He was a great Francophile and lover of Paris.
After the Franco-Prussian War he designed the fountains, paid for them and had
them installed, among other benevolent works for the ruined city.
There is one outside The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square, London. It's
a superb gallery, with a good French collection, and always worth visiting.
