To supply water for the garden and stepped cascades of the Versailles castle, the "Sun King" Louis XIV asked the french engineer Arnold de Ville to build the "machine" of Marly and the Louveciennes Aqueduct. Inaugurated in June 1684, the "machine" of Marly carried water from the Seine to Versailles via the Louveciennes Aqueduct.
