Private Guided Tour of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomt

It is the work of three of the most illustrious artists of the early 17th century: Louis Le Vau (architect), Charles Le Brun (painter) and Nicolas Le Nôtre (landscape gardener), brought together by Nicolas Fouquet to create his residence. It was these same three artists that Louis XIV would bring together a few years later to build the Château de Versailles, modelled on Vaux-le-Vicomte. Vaux-le-Vicomte is much less visited than its little brother in Versailles, but it is no less sublime. Accompanied by a guide, you can take full advantage of its spaces, collections and flats, all of which bear witness to the French art of living in the 17th century. Its terraced formal gardens, fountains and architecture will remind you of Versailles. A private, tailor-made visit - to suit your expectations - so you don't miss a thing!
