    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 Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is the creation of three artists brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, superintendent of finances to Louis XIV: the gardener André Le Nôtre, the architect Louis Le Vau and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun. Resulting from the fraternal genius of these three men, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a model whose majesty and balance will inspire the Palace of Versailles and the whole of Europe for centuries.

        Magnificent castle which inspired Versailles but which led its owner, the superintendent Fouquet, to the dungeon on the orders of Louis XIV.
