Thinking about building a grandiose palace surrounded by vast manicured gardens? Get some inspiration at Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte! This is where the Palace of Versailles was dreamed up, and ooh la la, it's obvious!
Explore this extravagant Baroque masterpiece at your own pace, or with an audio guide that will fill in every decorative detail of the palace's opulent facade, lavish rooms, formal French gardens and Carriage Museum.
Make some interior design notes in the King’s Room and the Grand Salon, and see where decadent royal banquets were cooked up in the basement kitchens.

Château de Fontainebleau
Château de Fontainebleau is just 55 kilometres from the center of Paris. This massive palace has over 1500 rooms sprawled out on 130 acres of gardens and parks. It's one of the largest royal French châteaux to have ever been built.
Fontainebleau was much loved by Napoléon Bonaparte, who oversaw a lot of the restoration work. Napoléon III was another regular visitor, but as an example of the changes it has seen, during WWII the château was a headquarter for occupying Germans. It's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
