Private Vaux le Vicomte with Minivan
Description
Discover the most beautiful and charming masterpiece of the 17th century designed by LE VAU and LE NOTRE architects of Versailles. The gardens have a unique charm and design. This palace is Versailles' model. King Louis XIV was impressed and wanted this same style. Vaux-le-Vicomte was also the setting for one of the finest "fêtes" or celebrations, of the seventeenth century until Fouquet was arrested but Vaux-le-Vicomte has survived, thanks to the unfailing determination of three centuries of dedicated individuals. Resplendent today as it was in former times, Vaux-le Vicomte stands as a symbol of the intelligence, taste and independence of its creator, Nicolas Fouquet.

Itinerary
In the early seventeenth century, between the royal residences of Vincennes and Fontainebleau, a small castle stood at the confluence of two small rivers. The domain was called Vaux-le-Vicomte. In 1641, Nicolas Fouquet, purchased the estate. Fifteen years later the first stone of a unique masterpiece was laid; it was to be the finest château and garden in France. This achievement was brought about through the collaboration of three men of genius whom Fouquet had chosen for the task: the architect Le Vau, the painter-decorator Le Brun and the landscape gardener Le Nôtre. The artistic and cultivated sensibility of their patron was a great stimulus to their talents. They were not alone; the poet La Fontaine, Molière, playwright and actor, Madame de Sévigné, Pellisson and Scarron formed the circle around this great patron of literature and the arts.
