Yet when you look at the history of this particular area, you will find that the garden and triumphal arch were named after a type of jousting tournament, which unfortunately originally killed King Henri II who was the husband of Catherine de Medici, so after this tragedy it then became more of a horse skill performance, and this was organised here in the courtyard in 1662 for King Louis XIV, to celebrate the birth of his son.
