Located at the crossroads of several groves, including that of the Queen, the basin of Flora, Roman goddess of flowers, gardens and spring, symbolizes the first season of the year. Sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Tuby, she is represented with a wreath of flowers, in the center of the basin. https://bienvenue.chateauversailles.fr/fr/jardins/a-voir/310_bassin-de-flore#!panel-242

The current grove dates from the reign of Louis XVI, laid out between 1778 and 1781. Its center is occupied by a lake dominated by a huge fake rock embellished with waterfalls and hollowed out with a cave. This hosts the sculptures of the Horses of the Sun placed on either side of the group of Apollo served by the nymphs, created by François Girardon and Thomas Regnaudin. https://bienvenue.chateauversailles.fr/fr/jardins/bienvenue/304_bosquet-des-bains-d-apollon#!panel-46

The Latona basin results from the desire of Louis XIV to create, in the center of his Garden, a fountain which recounts the childhood of Apollo, the sun god he chose as his emblem. To create this fountain, Louis XIV transformed a pool dug by Louis XIII by gradually installing water features and decorations sculpted by the Marsy brothers. The Latona basin went through several states before adopting its current form. In 1667, it was the Toad Fountain. From 1668 to 1670, a first Latona basin appeared; Latona is then at the same level as the other figures and turned towards the Castle. From 1687 to 1689, Jules Hardouin-Mansart created the current pool, by making Latona turn around and hoisting her to the top of a marble pyramid. http://latone.chateauversailles.fr/page/le-bassin-de-latone/histoire-du-bassin
