Versailles - Apollo Fountain
This bronze fountain is on a grand scale in a huge pond at the junction of the Grand Avenue and Canal. Sadly not in operation on this day but when going consumes huge volumes of water.. In King Louis' time the pump men would signal each other when the King was passing and so turn off one fountain he had passed so they could turn on the one he would next pass. He probably thought all the fountains worked together. Bravo for the thinking working class man.
