Fountain Shows at Versailles
The Grandes Eaux Musicales, or Fountain Shows, at Versailles are held at weekends throughout the spring and summer and enchant visitors with a magnificent display to the sound of classical and baroque music.
Louis XIV adored fountains and commissioned numerous sculptors such as Le Bru and Girardon to create them. To see them in full show is to fully experience the majesty of his gardens.
The fountains use some 30km of pipes to pump water around the park, with 50 fountains spouting water out of 700 jets. They also take place at night in July and August, promising an even greater spectacle of light, music and water.
