Bassin d'Apollon

Highlight • Other

The Bassin d’Apollon lies on the central axis of the palace gardens, between the palace and the Grand Canal.

The fountain's central figure is Apollo, the sun god of Greek mythology. He is depicted rising from the water in a horse-drawn chariot to begin the day.

The choice of Apollo is no coincidence: King Louis XIV styled himself as the "Sun King," and Apollo was his mythological counterpart.

Horseshoe Basin

Highlight • Monument

Framed by two ramps, the Fer-à-cheval basin is located on the secondary axis of the Grand Canal and made it possible to get to the Grand Trianon by boat.

Temple of Love

Highlight • Other

This Temple of Love, which Marie-Antoinette could see from her bedroom in the Petit Trianon, was built by Richard Mique in 1778 in a neoclassical style. All in marble, this precious building is above all remarkable for the quality of the sculptures by Deschamps which adorn its Corinthian capitals, its friezes and the interior of its dome.

Petit Trianon

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1758, Louis XV decided to build a new palace in the middle of his gardens, which he had already been working on for about ten years at that point. He commissioned Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the king's first architect, to build a pavilion large enough for him and part of his entourage to live in. With the Petit Trianon, Gabriel created a blueprint for the neoclassical movement - a perfect example of the "Greek style" that was taking Europe by storm at the time.
