Better, of course, to re-use the plastic bottles than to throw them away.

Those fountains are called Wallace Fountains, after the inheritor of the 
Wallace Collection in London. He was a great Francophile and lover of Paris. 
After the Franco-Prussian War he designed the fountains, paid for them and had 
them installed, among other benevolent works for the ruined city. 

There is one outside The Wallace Collection in Manchester Square, London. It's 
a superb gallery, with a good French collection, and always worth visiting.
