In honor of its illustrious citizen, born in the village in 1826 and died in Paris in 1901, the Jehay municipal authorities inaugurated a public fountain. In a style inspired by the 18th century, the limestone fountain features a bronze medallion representing the left profile of the famous inventor of the dynamo, who lived for several years at street number 2 in Jehay, today's rue Zénobe Gramme. Under the medallion, decorated with wreaths and laurels, the following words are carved in stone:
Zénobe Gramme
Inventor of the industrial dynamo
Born on April 4, 1826 in Jehay-Bodegnée
