17/30.- Chateau of Versailles, gardens, Parterre d'Eau

The visit to the Castle of Versailles is over. In the following pages we will visit some of the most beautiful sites in the park that surround the castle. As you will see, this is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. If you enjoyed the visit to the halls of the Chateau, I am sure that you will appreciate the beauty of the gardens ...

In the picture you can see one of the two pools that sit in front of the Palace. The part of the building you see behind the statue is the Hall of Mirrors. The pools were constructed in 1684, and were originally decorated with 16 bronze sculptures, representing the rivers of France. A few years later 8 nymphs were added.

If you click on the photo you will see a beautiful 360 panorama shot at this spot.
