Fountains of Versailles "As-Built" Documentation


 
The Services des Fontaines of the Chateau de Versailles have used a set of drawings, first compiled in 1809 of the supply piping and drainage system, as their working manual for operation, maintenance and modifications of the fountains. The detailed notes and descriptions provide a window into the complexity of the system, parts of which still date back to the time of Louis XIV.
