The Medici Fountain, known locally as Fontaine Médicis, is a historic fountain monument situated in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. It was constructed in the seventeenth century for Marie de Medici, widow of King Henry IV and regent of France. The fountain represents Italian Renaissance influence in French garden design. It features classical architectural elements including a grotto-like structure with sculptural groups. The monument underwent significant restoration by the French Senate, which operates the Jardin du Luxembourg. The fountain stands as one of the notable heritage features within this major public garden in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

The Medici Fountain presents photographic subjects including architectural details, sculptural groups, water reflections, and framed garden vistas. Morning and late afternoon light angles enhance dimensional qualities of the stonework. Overcast conditions reduce harsh shadows on the recessed sculptural elements. The reflective pool surface requires still conditions for mirror effects. Tripod use may attract attention from garden security; discretion is advisable.
