The Miroir d'eau in Bordeaux

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.[1]

It is made of granite slabs covered by 2 cm of water. In summer, a system allows it to create fog every 15 minutes.[1]
