The Fontaines de la Concorde are two monumental fountains located in the Place de la Concorde in the center of Paris. They were designed by Jacques Ignace Hittorff, and completed in 1840 during the reign of King Louis-Philippe. The south fountain commemorates the maritime commerce and industry of France, and the north fountain commemorates navigation and commerce on the rivers of France.

Les fontaines de la Concorde sont deux fontaines situées sur la place de la Concorde, dans le 8e arrondissement de Paris. Situées de part et d'autre de l'obélisque de la Concorde, il y a, au sud, la Fontaine des Mers et au nord la Fontaine des Fleuves
