The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is one of France’s most elegant and historically significant castles, located about 50 km southeast of Paris near the village of Maincy. Built in the 17th century, it represents the perfect harmony between architecture, landscape design, and decorative arts — a masterpiece that directly inspired the creation of the Palace of Versailles.
A Masterpiece of French Classical Art
Constructed between 1658 and 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Finance Minister to King Louis XIV, the château brought together three of the greatest artists of the era:
Architect Louis Le Vau
Painter and decorator Charles Le Brun
Landscape designer André Le Nôtre
Their collaboration created a revolutionary design where the château and gardens align along a single majestic axis — an innovation that would later define French royal architecture.
The château’s exterior combines classical symmetry with refined elegance. Inside, visitors discover richly decorated salons, painted ceilings, period furnishings, and grand reception rooms reflecting the lifestyle of French aristocracy during the reign of Louis XIV.
The Iconic French Gardens
The gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte are among the finest examples of formal French landscaping. Designed with perfect perspective and optical illusions, they stretch over several kilometers.
The driver will show the entrance of the castle upon arrival and will indicate the pick-up location after your visit.
