Bosquet de l'Arc de Triomphe, Garden alcove with triumphal arch in Versailles, France.
The Bosquet de l'Arc de Triomphe features a golden metal triumphal arch surrounded by seventeen cascading water fountains and ornamental pyramids.
Between 1677 and 1684, the garden replaced the former Pavillon d'Eau site, becoming a key element in the extensive gardens of Versailles under Louis XIV.
The fountain of France Triomphante, created by sculptors Coysevox, Tuby, and Prou, depicts France victorious on a chariot among military trophies.
The water fountain shows occur twice daily in the afternoon, with sessions running from 14:30 to 15:15 and 16:00 to 16:45 during regular operation.
The lower section contains the only remaining original element, the France Triomphante basin, which commemorates French victory in the 1678 Peace of Nijmegen.
