Vaux Le Vicomte is a breathtaking 17th-century château located southeast of Paris, renowned for its architectural beauty and historical significance. This magnificent estate was designed by Nicolas Fouquet and influenced the design of the Palace of Versailles.
Vaux Le Vicomte represents the pinnacle of French Baroque architecture and landscape design. Built between 1658-1661, the château features stunning interiors, meticulously landscaped gardens, and a rich historical narrative. The property was created by three artistic geniuses: architect Louis Le Vau, painter Charles Le Brun, and landscape designer André Le Nôtre, who later designed the gardens of Versailles.
