What’s On in Paris this Summer:
Musical Fountains Show: With the arrival of summer, the gardens of the Palace of Versailles become the setting for a magical display. The ornamental ponds and waterfalls in the avenues designed by Le Nôtre offer a wonderful spectacle as fountains play and jets of water intertwine.

This show can be combined with the Fountains Night Show, the Royal Serenade in the Hall of Mirrors and the Musical Gardens promenade. Until 27 October. Palace of Versailles, Versailles. €9.50.
