In the major building phase in Versailles between 1661 and 1680, fifteen shrubberies was planted between the pathways in the park. Each shrubbery was a physical world in itself, architecturally designed and with a variety of stereometric formats. In 1684, Hardouin-Mansart was commissioned to "regulate" the shrubbery constructed by André Le Nôtre in 1679 and give it a rotunda.
The picture shows a detail of the rotunda constructed by Hardouin-Mansart.
