* During the Grandes Eaux, the 55 fountains and basins and their 600 water features are set in motion with a lyre key by the Château de Versailles fountain artists. The greatest Baroque composers, from Lully to Handel, accompany you on your royal musical stroll. The Grandes Eaux Musicales have been a must for over 350 years! (https://youtu.be/bT8g_JXuh8Q) 

Please bring your admission ticket in advance to enter the château. Access is subject to a fee, as we are during the Grandes Eaux period. If they are able, we would be grateful if godparents could pay for their godchildren's admission tickets.
