In March 2014, the place looked wild, it was here. These photos were taken at the end of May. They represent a small part of the brand new Water Theatre Grove in the palace gardens. The grove was originally designed by André Le Nôtre and after an international competition aimed at garden designers for the restoration of the Water Theatre grove, landscape designer Louis Benech and artist Jean-Michel Othoniel were chosen for their contemporary art project that reminds of the brilliant feasts that kings held in the gardens. It's modern but still classy and VDP loves it! To see two short videos, click here.
En mars 2014, les lieux étaient en pleins travaux, c'était ici. Ces photos ont été prises fin mai. Elles représentent une petite partie du tout nouveau bosquet du théâtre d'eau dans les jardins du château, dont la restauration a été confiée après concours international au paysagiste Louis Benech et à l'artiste Jean-Michel Othoniel.C'est moderne, contemporain, tout en rappelant les fêtes données jadis dans les jardins, VDP adore ! Pour voir deux vidéos, c'est par ici !
Beautiful against that dark brooding sky, I like it :)
ReplyDeleteVery artistic...I like it!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous, Ciel! I liked the videos too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that in the 2nd video I couldn't understand the one guy at all while the other one I could catch the drift of what he was saying.
I am so sorry we were there to early to see this. There will be a next time, won't there?
ReplyDeleteIt is quite handsome, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteDoes it light up at night?
ReplyDeleteYour word "wild" is the mot juste here!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a sea serpent.
There is something quite cheerful and uplifting about this! I like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collaboration! Your shot is beautiful against that dark sky.
ReplyDeleteThose are really dramatic looking images, a real 'performance' by the fountains!
ReplyDeleteun ciel qui met bien en valeur les jets d'eau
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the wait, it is more stunning than I thought it could be.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a water gun fight. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice... but 'art project' make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteOn la j'adore! how spectacular it is Ciel, as Dina said, like a writhing sea serpent! We were on the same theme today :)
ReplyDeleteEine wilde Wasserschlange?
ReplyDeleteSchaut gut aus !
Quite dramatic skies for that water feature!
ReplyDeleteA festival. A feast for the eyes. I would love to see this in person. That last photo is especially entertaining what with those dark clouds in the sky - it appears they are threatening the water spectacle!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks dramatic!
ReplyDeleteIt does look pretty cool in action... sort of Disney-like.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful display!
ReplyDeleteautant je déteste les pseudo sculptures autant j'aime ces perles de verres
ReplyDeleteIt's magical!
