Architects and landscapists who designed these gardens came up with a hydraulic grid that can work only requiring gravity. The Grand Jet can spring up to 30 meters (98.42 feet) up in the air. Water then flows to the 24 jets, the “goulottes” and the “Fer à cheval” before making it to the Grande Cascade.

The set of perspectives also allow you to see the elegant curves of the water jets in the Orangery pool, the Petite Gerbe and the Grande Gerbe.
