Vaux le Vicomte Castle (6 hours)

One of France’s most spectacular château, said to have inspired such a jealous rage in King Louis XIV that he imprisoned its owner, Nicolas Fouquet and had its architect, decorator and garden designer hired to build Versailles.

After a private intimate visit of the gardens, among Andre Lenôtre’s best work (the Carpet Parterres, the Round Pool, the Great Water Mirror, the Confessional Grotto, the Skillet Canal, the Cascades and the Spray Basin), your private guide will take you for a tailored visit of the château, the Vestibule, the Grand Salon, the Private Apartments, the Herculese Salon, the Chamber of the Muses, the Royal Apartments, the Chambre Carrée and the beautiful kitchens.

Before returning to Paris, discovery of the Carriage Museum, located in the large stables where you will admire magnificent old horse-drawn vehicles, brought to life with harnessed horses, coachmen and passengers.
