Vaux-le-Vicomte Castle

Highlights

For the first time in history, Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV’s Superintendant, brought together an architect, Louis Le Vau, a painter, Charles Le Brun, and a landscape gardener, André Le Notre, to execute jointly the entire project. 

The result of this fraternal union was a work of unparalleled harmony and beauty.

 In 1661, Fouquet had transformed the estate into a masterpiece whose château and gardens still feature among the most beautiful in France.
