To create the vast ground for Vaux-le-Vicomte in France, three villages were purchased and demolished. The displaced residents were then employed by landscape architect Le Notre to create the gardens for the 1661 opening of the estate. #travel #tourism #france #vauxlevicomte #history #architecture

Here's one last (for now) photo from December in Vaux-le-Vicomte where a few years ago the decorations turned the interior dome room into an exterior forest filled with trees and forest creatures. Stunning! #tourism #travel #vauxlevicomte #france #chateau #christmas #decoration #photography

Vaux-le-Vicomte is France's largest privately-held chateau. More importantly, this was the training lab for the architect, landscape architect, and artist who were then spirited to turn Versailles into Versailles.
