Heritage classified

Origin and history

The Long pond and the Gobert reservoir are located in Versailles, in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region. These elements form an integral part of the National Estate of the Palace of Versailles, an exceptional architectural and landscape ensemble. Their precise location is indicated as Alexis de Tocqueville Street, in the historic heart of the city.

Decree No. 2024-472 of 24 May 2024 officially incorporated these infrastructures into the Domaine national de Versailles. This classification under the Historic Monuments covers all the interior parts, highlighting their heritage importance. No other specific historical or architectural information is available from the sources consulted.

Unlike another Long pond in the Ariegean Pyrenees, the Versailles pond is not associated with geographical or topographical data detailed in the source texts. Its exact role within the royal or imperial domain is not specified, but its inclusion in the protected perimeter suggests a function related to water supply or garden beautification.

The Domaine national de Versailles, of which these elements are part, is a major site of French heritage, managed by the State. The protection rules apply to all classified buildings and spaces, ensuring their preservation for future generations. No mention shall be made of any specific public access or inspection arrangements for such tanks.
