The sun god Apollo is clearly the identity of the French king, claiming to be “roi de solei” (the sun king).

The Apollo Baths were called “Apollo Baths” only after about 70 years under King Louis XVI, “Bosquet des Bains d’Apollon”. Louis XVI. In 1776, the commissioned painter Hubert Robert made a new plan for Boskett in the garden. This is the era of British garden style and Chinese elements. Therefore, in 1778, the entire Boskett was completed in the popular English-Chinese style at that time, and it has only appeared in this form until today. The original Girardon and Regnaudin sculpture groups no longer decorated Thetisgrotte in the Versailles gardens. The marble originally used could not withstand continuous weathering, as these numbers were originally designed for the interior of the castle.
In 1978, the entire Boskett of the Apollo bathroom after 230 years was locked and restored from 2008 to 2010. You can visit again in the castle garden today.
