The Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte
Welcome to an exclusive experience with Parisi Tour. Our private visit to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte offers you an immersive dive into history and luxury. For 2 hours, discover this 17th-century masterpiece, located just one hour from Paris.
A true masterpiece
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 André Le Nôtre (landscape architect) - brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, the Superintendent of Finances under Louis XIV, to create his residence. These are indeed the same three artists that Louis XIV would bring together a few years later to build the Palace of Versailles... modeled after Vaux-le-Vicomte.
The one that inspired Versailles: the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte
Much less visited than its younger brother in Versailles, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is nonetheless sublime. Far from the crowds of tourists, you can fully enjoy its spaces, collections, and apartments... which testify to the French art of living in the 17th century. Its terraced French gardens, its fountains, its architecture... everything here will remind you of Versailles.
