A SPARKLING water drinking fountain has been installed by the Mairie de Paris in the 12th Arrondissement.

The fountain, in the Jardin de Reuilly, uses bottles of gas to put bubbles into ordinary tap water.

The mairie plans to install more of them around the capital to persuade people that tap water can be as good as the bottled kind.
