The Fountains of Versailles
The gardens of the Château de Versailles are truly alive during the magnificent Les Grandes Eaux Musicales. One can stroll through the gardens with music and the fountains flowing in their most beautiful form. From the current schedule, it seems the shows will be on Saturdays, Sundays, some Tuesdays, and holidays.
For those who have visited Versailles, you know the lines for tickets can be very long. However, the website has a new feature that allows you to purchase your ticket and print it before you visit. On this page you may choose the PASSEPORT 1J+GRANDES EAUX, which includes the music and fountains, and the date you would like to go before printing your ticket. This should assure that you would not miss the wonderful fountains on your next trip to Versailles. The link for the online tickets is: http://billetterie.chateauversailles.fr/online/Manifestations.aspx?langue=en
If you have visited the Château before, but missed the fountains, you may enjoy an enchanting summer evening with Les Grandes Eaux Nocturnes, a display accompanied by fire, water, and Baroque music. I have bookmarked this for my next opportunity:
