France led the way with new and grand water features, some of which utilized the water wheel. At Versailles water gardens were commissioned by Louis XIV. and designed by the vastly influential director of Royal gardens, Andre Le Notre, who completed them in 1668. Water was supplied from a complex of water wheels, known as the machine at Marly. This was the biggest water-wheel installation ever constructed and was completed in 1682. In fact it never was entirely satisfactory ; it is said that the fountains of Versailles were operated only when in the eyesight of the king because of the limited water supply.
