The Mirror pool is built in 3 levels and is framed by 2 dragons.

6) King’s Garden

This garden has busts of Kings but the garden is pretty regular.

7) Collonade Grove

This grove is made out of marble.

8) Apollo’s Fountain

The fountain is inspired by the legend of the Sun God, by whom Louis XIV identified himself with.

9) Grand Canal

The royal family took boat rides on this canal to enjoy their summer day.

As we only had 1 day in Versailles, we only did one half of the garden. But there is more to explore in the beautiful gardens of Versailles!
