A remarkable neoclassical building with sculpted pediment, one of the last remaining examples of the Marly machine in Bougival.
The Pavillon Charles X owes its construction to the need to pump water from the Seine. In the early 19th century, this neoclassical building with its sculpted pediment housed the fire pump used for this task. The Machine de Marly was the first link in a series of installations bringing water to Versailles, to supply the many ponds and fountains in the château's park. The water was brought 163 m above the level of the Seine via three successive ascents to the Marly reservoir, which towers 33 m above Versailles.
