BACCHUS


Bassin dit de l'Automne, il est l'égal des trois autres bassins consacrés aux saisons et proches de l'Allée Royale.
Bacchus, figure mythologique romaine, enseigne à travers le monde la culture de la vigne.
Dieu du vin et l'ivresse, il symbolise l'époque des vendanges et est entouré de petits satyres, moitié enfants, moitié boucs.



Also calles the Autumn fountain, it is the same size as the three other fountains dedicated to the seasons and near the Royal Walk.
Bacchus, a figure of Roman mythology, teaches the cultivation of the vine throughout the world.
The god of wine and drunkenness, he symbolises the harvest and is surrounded by small satyrs, half child and half goat.
