Bassin du Miroir, Versailles

This water feature is easy to spot, as it sits in front of the Jardin du Roi, near the Bassin de Saturne. Spread across three levels, the Bassin du Miroir is bordered with two dragons carved by Hardy in 1702. The widest lower level is decorated with groups of children, while the upper level is dominated by sculptured Cupids, also by Hardy.
