a historic square in central Reims that was built in the 18th century after demolishing a maze of narrow medieval streets that were so cramped that Queen Marie Leszczyńska couldn't pass through with her carriage. The square was designed by architect Jean-Gabriel Legendre and features orderly architecture typical of royal squares, with a central monument that originally honored Louis XV but was replaced after the French Revolution. Construction began in 1758 and cost 620k livres, significantly more than originally budgeted, and the square remained incomplete until 1910.

From its inauguration, residents criticized the fountain's weak water flow of only 12 liters per second, and the nude naiads representing the rivers caused public controversy. During World War II, German occupiers removed the bronze statue, but remarkably the fountain remained intact despite 60% of Reims being destroyed during the war.

The Subé Fountain stands in Place Drouet-d'Erlon in central Reims, funded by local benefactor Auguste Subé's donation of 200000 gold francs and inaugurated on July 15, 1906. The 17-meter tall column, made from Corgoloin and Chassignelles stone and decorated with vine motifs, represents the city of Reims and local industries including commerce, viticulture, industry, and agriculture. At its base, four naiads symbolize the rivers Suippe, Marne, Vesle, and Aisne that flow through the Marne department, while a golden Victory statue crowns the top.
