Vaux-le-Vicomte
Donate

Delve into the art of the French formal garden through the permanent exhibition dedicated to André Le Nôtre, the visionary landscape designer of the 17th century.
In the château’s vaulted basement, a large animated scale model reveals the secrets behind the layout of Vaux-le-Vicomte’s gardens—a masterpiece of symmetry, proportion, and perspective.

An inspiring, family-friendly experience that blends heritage, innovation, and visual poetry.

The king has every reason to be angry—he finds, here at Vaux-le-Vicomte, the perfection of the French garden. Alain Baraton, Head Gardener of the Palace of Versailles.
