Victor Hugo married Adèle Foucher there in 1822. In front of it, the Fontaine Saint-Sulpice, built between 1843 and 1848 to designs by Louis Visconti, honours four great preachers of the 17th century. The square, with its trees and its fountain, is one of the calmest in the Left Bank. ## A Place Saint-Sulpice elopement by the fountain Picture the sound of the fountain, the old trees overhead, the church towering behind you and your closest ones gathered around. Saint-Sulpice is intimate and timeless, a quiet square in the heart of Saint-Germain. We plan your ceremony by the fountain in the calm of the morning, and your portraits in the elegant streets of the Left Bank around it. ## Our elopements at Saint-Sulpice - ### [Intimate Vow Renewal inspiration in Paris](https://elopement.paris/paris-elopement-inspiration/vow-renewal-paris/) It has been 5 years since their wedding.
