Enter in the Soirée’s backstages!
Vaux-le-Vicomte offers you an immersion in François Vatel’s kitchens, the famous 17th century maître d’hôtel, on the day before the famous soirée of 17th August, 1661, given by Nicolas Fouquet at Vaux-le-Vicomte.
You will discover Vatel and his assistant Jean La guigne, played by actors (only in French), in the middle of the preparation of the “Ambigu” meal intended for Louis XIV and Anne of Austria who arrived at Vaux-le-Vicomte the next day… A gustatory and historical adventure!
Included in the entrance ticket – Starting at 2pm.

Discover Vaux-le-Vicomte’s Salon as you have never seen it before! A video projection system consisting of 21 video projectors allows the immense 380 m² painting that Charles Le Brun had planned for this ceiling to be digitally restored. Discover what this château’s emblematic room would have looked like if Nicolas Fouquet had not been arrested!
