The Palace and Water Parterre
31-Oct-1974
Versailles has no natural source of water; hence all water has to be pumped to the level of the Palace. The fountains are arranged in terraces, each one lower than the one above, thus the fountains are all powered by gravity. Unfortunately, the fountains were not in operation when we visited the Palace.
