Outside of Versailles Palace


I will tell you about outside of Versailles Palace.

The mounted statue of  Louis the fourteenth comes out to welcome you at the front entrance.

The highlight of this garden is many fountains. Because Versailles had no water at the time, Louis the fourteenth pulled water from the Seine and was made fountains of a vast garden with 36.000 people. Their fountains are based on Greek myth. I will introduce 2 kinds of fountains.

First, it is Bassin de Latone. Latone and Apollon express his mother, who helped him, and young Louis the fourteenth. Frogs and lizards are expressed as nobles. This fountain means that I don’t forgive rebellious peaple to king.

Next is bassin d’Apollon. Apollon expresses Louis the fourteenth. This fountain means he is obeyed from heaven to earth.
