Grandes Eaux Musicales at Versailles: pleasing of the senses for everyone

2009-05-04

As at the time of the Sun King, visitors can come and admire water gushing out of the water features and fountains in the groves and garden at the chateau of Versailles. Spraying, lapping, gurgling and cascading water, and Baroque music set off Le Nôtre's work in this enchanting walk-cum-show.
