The modern fountain by Georges Jeanclos in the center of the park commemorates St. Julian, who lived in the 7th century, and to whom the 13th-century church on the south side of the square is dedicated. St. Julian is the patron saint of carpenters, landlords and ferrymen. His attribute are a hawk or a sword. The central part of the statue depicts a tree trunk, symbolizing the forest where Julian lived. This forest grew on the ruins of the Roman city of Lutetia, destroyed during the barbaric invasion in the 3rd century, on the left bank of the Seine River.
The fountain ordered and set up by the City of Paris in 1995 has been a well since the 12th century, and the park was built in 1928. Earlier, a Wallace fountain stood here from the 1870s.
