1 restoration OF THE Buffet d eau Fountain GARDENS OF THE Grand Trianon
2
3 the Grand Trianon from Louis XIV to general de Gaulle Mansart s Architecture located about one and a half kilometre from the Palace of Versailles, at the end of the northern arm of the Grand Canal, the Grand Trianon was built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1687 on the location where the Porcelain Trianon once stood, a place Louis XIV had built in 1670 to meet with his lover, Madame de Montespan. The Grand Trianon is probably the most refined set of buildings in the whole estate of Versailles. Mansart described it as a small palace of pink marble and porphyry with delicious gardens. Louis XIV was closely involved in the building project and Mansart respected his instructions to the letter. It is impossible not to succumb to the charm of this building whose elegant proportions give it an air of intimacy, peace and solemnity. This single-storey palace, set between courtyard and garden, is strongly influenced by Italian architecture, its flat roof hidden by a balustrade, formerly adorned with groups of children, vases and sculpted figures. Its buildings form a U-shape around the main courtyard. The north and south wings are symmetrically positioned on either side of the peristyle, the north wing being linked by the Cotelle Gallery to a wing that runs into the wood, hence bearing the name Trianonsous-Bois (Trianon-under-Wood). An intimate retreat The Marble Trianon was a palace designed for intimacy, a place to rest where Louis XIV could withdraw in selected company. With shows, ballets, operas, dinners and games, one went to Trianon to get away from the constraints imposed by the demanding etiquette of Versailles. Louis XIV used it to accommodate his sister-in-law Princess Palatine, his brother Monsieur, Duke of Orleans, his son the Duke of Chartres and his daughter, the Duchess of Bourbon. Under Louis XV, it was Marie Leszczyńska that was very fond of the Grand Trianon and stayed there in the summer. In the last decade of the monarchy, Marie-Antoinette gave a few performances there but preferred to stay at the Petit Trianon given to her by Louis XVI. When the Revolution came about, the Grand Trianon was unfortunately stripped of its furniture just like the Palace.

4 Palace of flora Renowned for its ordered, geometric French formal gardens, full of all sorts of orange blossoms and green shrubs, as Félibien tells us, the Marble Trianon was surrounded, as soon as it was built, by several tens of thousands of perennial and tuberous plants. Set in pots so they could be changed every day to create a floral, fragrant display, the plants provided a living decor that complemented the flawless architecture fully open onto the gardens. The three fountains of the upper and lower parterres, as well as the one at the far end of Trianon-sous-Bois and the Buffet d Eau Fountain, built of pink marble similar to the pilasters of the building, completed the perfect harmony between the Palace and its environment. From the Revolution to today The collections were broken up during the Revolution. In 1804 the Grand Trianon became an imperial palace. Napoleon gave it back its lustre and completely refurnished it for his marriage to the Empress Marie-Louise. The Palace was occupied for the last time by King Louis-Philippe who had all his family living there, modifying the building somewhat to make it more comfortable. Having become a museum filled with a motley collection of objects at the end of the 19 th century, the Grand Trianon only recovered its historical furnishings and thus former splendour in the 20 th century. The establishment of the French Fifth Republic marked a major turning point for the Palace, as from then on it was transformed into a presidential residence designed to welcome visiting heads of state.

5 the BUFFET D EAU fountain The main fountain in the Trianon gardens is the monumental buffet d eau Fountain, which lies at the far end of one of the garden s lateral perspectives. ESTATE OF TrIANON grand trianon park buffet d eau fountain english garden This majestic composition, very different to those of the groves in Versailles, was the work of Jules Hardouin-Mansart. It was built in 1702 then modified and adapted on several occasions in response to very precise instructions from Louis XIV. The result can almost be considered a collaborative work by the king and his architect. It rises in three tiers of different colours of marble, creating a contrast between the darker shades of the walls (red Languedoc and royal Campan) and the white Carrera marble of the basins and ornaments. Particularly refined figures in lead, formerly gilded, complete the ensemble, with Neptune and Amphitrite flanked by two lions at the top, four young tritons frolicking beneath the basins, various bas-reliefs of marine divinities and garlands. Under Louis XIV, a multitude of water features used to bring the fountain to life. Designed as a waterfall, each of its tiers produced sheets of water falling into a series of white marble basins. Vertical water jets and bubbling effects seemed to emerge from the basins adorning each tier, defining the vertical lines of the majestic composition. Oblique streams gushed out of four masks representing the winds (Boreas, Eurus, Auster, Zephyrus) and decorating the wall of the lower level. All of these features and the resulting shimmering water further enhanced the polychrome nature of the marbles.

The same day His Majesty ordered the removal of the two lead and pewter dragons made to be placed on the two pedestals next to the upper sheet of said waterfall and to put two lions in their place. 20 May 1702 His Majesty ordered to make, on the square tablet of violet Breche that had been placed in the compartments of the Trianon Waterfall, a small lead and pewter bas-relief representing a water subject and, on the three circles of violet Breche in the compartments, some aquatic animals made of the same material. buffet d eau fountain Flat-bottom FOUNTAIN 23 June 1702 His Majesty ordered the removal of the lead and pewter monster that had been placed between the two figures at the top of the Trianon waterfall, on the grounds that it was too bold for the rest and make in its place a very light urn which should appear as if being tipped by one of the figures. The same day His Majesty ordered all the figures and ornaments in lead on the said waterfall to be gilded.» Register of Louis XIV s orders to Mansart, from 1699 to 1702, Paris, National Archives, O1/1809
7 Restoration is now essential Splitting of the red Languedoc marble cladding panels due to corrosion of the metal fixing staples and deformation due to a distortion of the panels The buffet d eau Fountain, last restored in 1892, is now showing various types of damage and many very visible signs of deterioration: instability and alteration of the marbles, missing pieces and deformation among the decoration and sculpted lead figures, malfunctioning of the fountain system, sealing issues, etc. In addition, the structural masonry requires verification and repair after being weakened by water infiltration. The complete and thorough assessment of the fountain s restoration needs and solutions was carried out in Therefore, an intervention could be implemented relatively quickly. Work will concern the overall restoration of the composition (all the elements will be removed and reassembled after restoration), reinstatement of the fountain system, complete restoration of the sealing and renovation of the fountain s surroundings (benches, soils, trellises). The total cost of the work is estimated at 2,000,000. Vertical and horizontal cement joints gaping between marble cladding The restoration will take 24 months (6 months for the technical file and the tender process, 18 months to carry out the work).
