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 |
