The Fontaine Miroir d’Eau in Nice is a broad shallow basin set within the Promenade du Paillon where jets of water rise in shifting rhythms and fine mist drifts across the surface so the whole space feels playful bright and constantly changing. The paved ground reflects the sky the surrounding trees and the movement of people which turns the fountain into a living mirror that changes from moment to moment. One engaging activity here is to walk slowly through the mist because the cool air the sudden bursts of water and the reflections at your feet create a light immersive experience that feels refreshing in every season. The fountain brings together motion light and open space and it forms one of the most lively meeting points in central Nice.
