The Grand Easter Egg Hunt at Vaux-le-Vicomte!
Every year, the estate opens its doors to host France’s largest Easter egg hunt, a springtime tradition filled with wonder and conviviality.
This year’s edition invites visitors of all ages to step behind the scenes of a grand Easter celebration. Meet those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to orchestrate this magical event, staying true to the spirit of boldness and harmony instilled by Nicolas Fouquet.
Hunts designed for all ages.…
At Vaux-le-Vicomte, Easter is an adventure for everyone! Four large egg hunts have been created so that every generation can take part in the fun.
Families will progress together through a specially designed route suitable for all ages. Teenagers will have to solve a quest by uncovering hidden clues throughout the estate. Among the four different hunts, adults will also play a key role, while children cheer them on in their search.
Throughout the event, actors will bring the experience to life by revealing the secrets of the estate.
For the most daring participants, a Golden Squirrel awaits discovery. Keep an ear out for the bell—it signals that a new Golden Squirrel has been hidden somewhere in the domain! The lucky winners will receive an additional prize!
Activities for the whole family
In addition to the traditional egg hunts, children will have the chance to get their faces painted or take part in creative workshops in the outbuildings. They can also visit the petting farm, play with giant wooden games in the garden, join the “Budding Gardener” activity, or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage or pony ride. You can also rent a club car (available from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM).
And don’t miss the must-visit château tour, where you can rent historical costumes (no reservation needed) and climb to the dome for a breathtaking panoramic view over the château’s rooftops (minimum height: 1m35).
