_At the corner of the streets des Carmes, and de l'Hopital._
This is a small monument in the gothic style of the end of the XVth
century. The sculptures which decorate it, are remarkable for their
fineness and delicacy. It is surmounted by a royal crown. Its name comes
from its being situated at the corner of the house, which had for sign
the crozier belonging to the monks of Notre-Dame de l'Ile-Dieu.
Some etymologists see in the word _Crosse_, an alteration of the english
word _cross_. In the year 1815, this fountain was completely renewed.
