Vaux le Vicomte – the chateau that enraged a King and inspired Versailles
Before Versailles stole the spotlight, there was the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte — a jaw-dropping château so beautiful it made King Louis XIV furious. Built by Nicolas Fouquet, this place had everything: symmetry, fountains, a genius architect trio… and one very jealous Sun King.
