Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Highlight • Castle

Created by three different artists, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a majestic building that served as inspiration for the Palace of Versailles in particular. Brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, that is to say the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV, the authors of this architectural work are the gardener André Le Nôtre, the architect Louis Le Vau and the decorator Charles Le Brun. The view is just magnificent!

The castle of Blandy-les-Tours was originally a fortified manor. Having become a fortified castle during the Hundred Years War, it again became a residence during the Renaissance. It is a fairly rare witness to the military architecture of the Middle Ages. Observe the size of its towers and you will see why!
