Fountains of Versailles
The gardens of Versailles were planned by André Le Nôtre, perhaps the most famous and influential landscape architect in French history. Behind the palace, the ground falls away on every side from a terrace adorned with ornamental basins, statues, and bronze groups. Directly west of the terrace is the Latona Fountain, designed by Le Nôtre and sculpted by Gaspard and Balthazard Marsy. The fountain depicts the events of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The Royal Walk extends westward from the palace. A broad avenue centred on the grass of the Green Carpet, it is flanked by rows of large trees and ends at the spectacular Fountain of Apollo.
World in your eyes 
Thank you for this post! I am going to Versailles in 2 weeks so this is really helpful for me. I don’t want to be ignorant, but I never knew there was so many outstanding fountains there. Fountain of Apollo is breathtaking and probably best water feature I ever seen. This will be one more for my bucket list, thanks!

Ah, one of my favorite places on the planet. Your shots are Sun King-worthy, Alexander! While strolling the grounds, were you able to catch one of the fountain shows? Did you get to visit Marie Antoinette’s digs? Lovely!! ~Theadora
