About

Your experience

Escape Paris for a memorable full-day adventure, discovering two of France's most spectacular historic estates with convenient transport. This experience lets you step into the grandeur of the 17th-century Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and the spectacular Castle of Fontainebleau on a seamless day tour.

Begin your journey at Vaux-le-Vicomte

Arriving at Vaux-le-Vicomte, you’ll find yourself exploring the residence that served as the original model for Versailles. Commissioned by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV’s finance minister, the château stands as a masterpiece of French baroque architecture. Explore ornate rooms filled with period details, then ascend to the dome for panoramic views of the estate’s perfectly manicured gardens. Choose a classic audio guide to deepen your knowledge or try an immersive 3D surround-sound experience about the infamous ‘Fouquet Affair’ for vivid storytelling. Young adventurers can dive into the castle’s history by renting elegant period costumes at the entrance, adding a playful and authentic twist to their visit. Roam the serene French gardens, designed with geometric precision, impressive fountains and scenic walks that invite moments of tranquility away from city bustle.

Continue to the historic Castle of Fontainebleau

After exploring Vaux-le-Vicomte, continue to the illustrious Castle of Fontainebleau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With the included multilingual audio guide, you’ll gain fresh insights at every turn, from the Renaissance frescoes lining the Gallery of Francis I to the elegant surroundings where Napoleon bade his final farewell before exile in 1814.
