Bosquet des Dômes, Garden grove in Versailles, France
The Bosquet des Dômes features a hexagonal basin surrounded by a balustrade, with a white marble fountain supported by dolphins in its center.
André Le Nôtre designed this grove in 1675, which initially contained a statue of Fame spouting water from its trumpet until 1684.
The grove represents French garden design principles through its amphitheater layout and the incorporation of marble sculptures representing mythological figures.
This section of the gardens receives fewer visitors than other groves, allowing for a more private exploration of its architectural elements.
Two white marble pavilions with domes, constructed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1677, gave the grove its current name before their removal in 1820.
