Address Château de Vaux le Vicomte 77950 Maincy, France

Built from 1656, the château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a marvel of architecture and a building full of surprises…

In 1641, Nicolas Fouquet, a young parliamentarian, acquired the estate. Twenty years later, the magnificent Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a unique masterpiece that arouses covetousness.

No sooner had its construction been completed than Nicolas Fouquet was arrested, sentenced to banishment and prison. The statesman was the victim of a plot orchestrated by Colbert and Louis XIV.

The latter puts the residence under seals, recovers all the goods such as the tapestry, the furniture or the orange trees of the garden.

Recovered by Mrs Fouquet 10 years later, she will resolve to sell the residence in 1705.

Regularly resold, then left abandoned, the place is acquired in 1875 by Alfred Sommier, an art lover. 140 years later, his direct descendants, the de Vogüé family, continue the work of their ancestor by preserving this castle in its former beauty.
