If the Versailles Palace is renowned throughout the world, it is mainly for its fountains; each year, some 10 million visitors come to admire them. But how many actually know that they work thanks to 35 km of piping and 70,000 m3 of water? 

At the time, the Sun King did not accept anything less than greatly ambitious. Creative devices and ever more ingenious machines were necessary to pump water into all these fountains. How did these millions of cubic meters of water get the pressure necessary to make so much water flow? Where does Versailles’ water come from? How is it supplied and managed?
Embark with us on the waters of Versailles; this documentary takes you on a journey through its incredible underground maze of an engineering system.
