Vaux-le-Vicomte, Seine-et-Marne<br />
In the TV series Versailles, it was the<br />
chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte which was<br />
featured, not the chateau of Versailles.<br />
Vaux-le-Vicomte has a more authentic<br />
interior for the days of Louis XIV. Far less<br />
crowded, elegant and exquisitely beautiful,<br />
Vaux le Vicomte was the inspiration for the<br />
Palace of Versailles and made Louis XIV<br />
mad with jealousy when he saw it. Stunning<br />
gardens and interior make this a must-see<br />
chateau. From Paris Gare de l’Est, take the<br />
train to Verneuil l’Etang train station (35<br />
minutes) and hop on the “Châteaubus”<br />
shuttle to to the Château. There’s a lovely<br />
restaurant too.<br />
