Le bassin de Latone


Leto fountain in the palace grounds: I showed it to you here at night and explained its allegorical meaning. Also here with a video.

Je vous montrais cette fontaine ici avec des explications sur sa signification allégorique ainsi qu'ici avec une vidéo.

    Was für eine Freude !


    In der Uni mussten wir einst eine Matheaufgabe rechnen mit Springbrunnen und wie hoch das Wasser spritzt, danke für die Erinnerungen.

  2. I took photos of this fountain but from a distance away...I should have gotten closer, obviously. That's got to be one of the world's most beautiful fountains!

  6. Les fontaines du parc de Versailles sont magnifiques. Je suis alle une fois a leur representation nocturne. J'aime le cadrage et l'angle de la 1ere.

  15. By the way...I miss your posts in "Flavours"!
    One question, Could we use white wine instead of Champagne in that recipe? Well...just thinking here.
    But Champagne is perfect with that recipe ( and much more elegant ) :)

    And...as I don't eat red meat, chicken is one great subject for cooking here, I love the recipe of "Chicken à la Ciel de Quimper",it's delicious!

  28. For a second, I thought the water was bursting from the statues head and I thought, huh. But then I see from previous posts that the water is coming from below...makes sense. This really is a fabulous fountain :D
