The Fontaine Saint Michel is located at the angle between the Boulevard Saint-Michel and the Place Saint-André-des-Arts. This fountain representing the archangel Michael annihilating the Devil evokes the struggle of Good against Evil. It was commissioned by Haussmann under Napoleon III.

The Paris prefect and city planner Baron Haussmann received at the time of Napoléon III. many commissions to redevelop the city, so larger streets should be built instead of the small medieval streets and thus a more modern city to be created. In the context of the layout of the Place Saint-Michel, the Fontaine Saint-Michel was built in 1860. Originally, however, the sculpture of the fountain should represent Napoleon Bonaparte.
