The aim is to restore the late 17th-century layout of the fountain works and give the sculpted figures of Apollon's chariot their bronze-like coating back.
The original pool here was extended during the reign of Louis XIV and, in 1671, decorated with the famous gilded lead sculpture of Apollo on his chariot.
