Fountains in the Tuileries garden, Water basins in Tuileries Garden, France
The Tuileries Garden contains several water features, including the Grand Bassin Octogonal and matching basins on the north and south sides of the eastern section.
Andre Le Notre redesigned the garden's fountains in 1664 as part of a transformation from Italian Renaissance style to French formal garden patterns.
The fountains serve as central meeting points where children sail miniature boats while adults observe the water displays throughout the seasons.
The water features operate through a closed circuit distribution system installed in 2011, ensuring proper maintenance and water conservation.
The Grand Bassin Octogonal provides views of the Louvre Museum to the east and Place de la Concorde to the west along Paris's historical axis.
