Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV. The name means a symbol of power and influence and was intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet. The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Nicolas Fouquet's castle, superintendent of the finances of Louis XIV, this castle served as inspiration for the construction of the Palace of Versailles
Une vue à partir de la route D215. C’est un château construit entre 1658 et 1661 pour le surintendant des finances de Louis XIV, Nicolas Fouquet. Ce dernier fit appel aux meilleurs artistes de l'époque pour bâtir ce château : l'architecte Louis Le Vau, premier architecte du roi (1656), le peintre Charles Le Brun, fondateur de l'Académie de peinture (1648), le paysagiste André Le Nôtre, contrôleur général des bâtiments du roi (1657) et le maître-maçon Michel Villedo. Leurs talents avaient déjà été réunis par le jeune Louis XIV pour construire des ailes au château de Vincennes en 1651-1653. Le roi refera appel à eux pour construire le château de Versailles, celui de Vaux-le-Vicomte servant alors de modèle.
Le 17 août 1661, Nicolas Fouquet donne au château une fête en l'honneur de Louis XIV. Cette fête organisée par François Vatel fut d'une grande splendeur. Pourtant, le 5 septembre 1661, le roi fait arrêter le surintendant de Fouquet pour malversions, à l'issue d'un conseil tenu à Nantes. Celui-ci mourra en prison. Le château, chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture classique est aujourd’hui la plus importante propriété privée de France.

This was shot approximately 450m from the château. The distance from the front gate of the château to the Grand Canal is 900m! Both the château and the gardens and the statues are in top condition! Notice all those 2000 candles! This place is amazing.

A saturday summer full moon night at Vaux-Le-Vicomte, a Baroque castle near Paris, built in mid-17th-century for Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
Each saturday during summer period, all the castle and its amazing gardens are enlightened by hundreds of candles, producing an incredible ambiance.
When I start shooting, I realized that I forgot my memory card at home. I just took the camera and 1 more lens, without taking the whole photobag with gears and backup memory cards.
I tried to find one at the castle shop, with no success...
I was really disappointed and ready to give up when I finally realized that the GPS system in my car is using a SD Card. A quick format, and I finally start shooting. Lucky man !
I had to wait until the very last visitor left the site to take this picture
