The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a baroque French château located in Maincy, near Melun, 55 kilometres (34 mi) southeast of Paris in the Seine-et-Marne département of France.
Constructed from 1658 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV, the château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. At Vaux-le-Vicomte, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on a large-scale project for the first time. Their collaboration marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. The garden's pronounced visual axis is an example of this style.

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

This is Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and is located some 40km SE of Paris. In the summer they have these Candlelit Days on Fridays and Saturdays until October. The garden is open until late and they light up these candles in the entire garden. It's beautiful. At the end of the evening, when it is almost dark, there is a big 15 min firework show.
On the left is a restaurant and we were hungry but we didn't go there because well... it looked kind of expensive. On the other side of the garden they had some seats and they served macron's for €10 a pop and glass of champagne for €14. So eh heh, we didn't go there either. We drank some water from the toilet bowl and went to McDonalds afterwards. :)

Mapping à 360°, projeté sur les 1500 m² de murs et de coupole du Grand Salon, proposé au visiteur, afin de rendre hommage à l’amitié entre La Fontaine et Fouquet au travers de la fable Le Renard et l’Écureuil.
Contée par Laurent Stocker, sociétaire de la Comédie Française, cette fable, qui circulait sous le manteau à l’époque de La Fontaine, et n’a été publiée qu’un siècle plus tard, plaide en faveur d’un dénouement heureux du procès de Fouquet.

Le château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, situé sur le territoire de la commune française de Maincy (Seine-et-Marne), à 50 km au sud-est de Paris, près de Melun est un château du XVIIe siècle (1658-1661), construit pour le surintendant des finances de Louis XIV, Nicolas Fouquet. Il appartient désormais à une branche cadette des marquis de Vogüé.
Fouquet 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.
