Miroir d'eau
The Miroir d'eau (Water Mirror) or Miroir des Quais (Quay Mirror) in Bordeaux is the World's largest[1] reflecting pool, covering 3,450 square metres (37,100 sq ft). Located on the quay of the Garonne in front of the Place de la Bourse, it was built in 2006.[2]
It is made of granite slabs covered by 2 cm of water. In summer, a system allows it to create fog every 15 minutes.[3]
