Set in some 70 acres of lovely garden, the château was built by Nicholas Fouquet and confiscated by Louis XIV who was jealous of the fact that this house outdid his home at Fontainebleau. The interior is comprised of many ornate rooms decorated in the style so evident in Versailles. The main domed room was filled with the busts of Roman emperors. The kitchens were amazing cavernous rooms with Gothic vaulting and fitted out with the cooking utensils of the period.
For the intrepid traveller it is better to get a history of the Château and to see for yourself what you will experience by going to the web site of the Château at:
Vaux le Vicomte
