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 />
