The Grand Carrousel is a large, elaborate carousel located in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Built in 1719 for Louis XV, it was designed by Jean-Baptiste Huguet and remains one of the most spectacular attractions at Versailles. The carousel consists of six horses that are pulled around an oval track with ornate sculptures depicting mythological creatures and figures from Greek mythology. It also features multiple fountains, cascades and other decorations along its perimeter. The Grand Carrousel is still operational today, with visitors able to ride on it during certain times throughout the year.
