Versailles Fountains, 2

Continuing our visit to Versailles and the fountains...oh, our current advice is it's best to see the fountains in the afternoon--they're turned on more freequently--but also to pick up whatever interpretive literature is available and follow it.

Unbelievable carpentry surrounding Enceladus Fountain

Enceladus


In play

Next time we'll cover the 87 gazillion sculptures that
adorn the place

The Water Theatre Grove; possibly not Baroque, we thought, 
so don't fix it

Baths of Apollo; not a fountain, per se, but the sculpture alone is impressive

Detail; designed by Hubert Robert

Smelling the roses

Neptune Fountain

France Triumphant

In the Three Fountains Grove





Basin of Flora

The Obelisk Fountain; weary but pleased with seeing everything we
wanted to see, we headed back to the RER and home
