Fountain in the palace garden under a cloudy sky: on the lower right is a large multi-layered fountain. There are many gilded figures and animal sculptures standing on the edge and upper floor of the pool, with multiple arc-shaped water columns shooting out from their mouths; behind the fountain is a wide stone staircase and the palace facade. A tricolor flag flies in front of the palace, and many tourists gather on the stone steps; on the left side there is a high spray of water column.Jul 2024FranceView full journeyA regular French garden is overlooked from a high platform: directly in front is a central axis, flanked by geometrically trimmed lawns, hedges and rows of potted trees; at the end of the axis is a large pool, with many tourists scattered on the grass and walking trails; in the foreground is a circular fountain decorated with gold-plated sculptures, and the water jets form high water curtains on both sides of the frame.Jul 2024FranceView full journeyUnder the blue sky and white clouds, a corner of a magnificent palace building: the outer walls are made of alternating red bricks and light-colored stones, the roof is made of dark slate, and the cornices, window frames, railings and roof edges are decorated with a large number of gilded decorations; a blue, white and red tricolor flag floats on a flagpole high in the center; a white human bust is placed in the niche of the tower on the left, and there are stone statues at the corners of the railings.Jul 2024FranceView full journeyThere is a row of nozzles spraying water in a large pool. About ten thin and tall water columns spray neatly into the air and fall back to the water surface to form white water spray and mist. Behind the pool is a gently sloping lawn. Above the lawn are tall green trees neatly trimmed and arranged in rows, forming a green wall. There are stone guardrails in front of the trees. The sky is filled with thick gray clouds, and there are several water birds on the water.Jul - Aug 2024FranceView full journey
