History of Vaux le Vicomte

Before the arrival of Nicolas Fouquet, Vaux-le-Vicomte was a mere territory that had only a small castle and some farms. It had only a few inhabitants. It is especially its strategic position that attracted the Superintendent of Finance, Nicolas Fouquet to buy this site in the seventeenth century. Concretely, this territory is right between the castle of Fontainebleau and that of Vincennes. At that time, Vaux-le-Vicomte is composed of two parts, one of which is constituted by the castle and the other by a farm. As for the castle, it is a drawbridge that connects Vaux-le-Pénil. The small castle is between walls and white water ditches. The other part concerns the farm or the farm of La Ronce. Some historians have summarized the past of this site in three centuries of history. It took 20 years of work for Nicolas Fouquet to transform the stronghold of Vaux-le-Vicomte into a magnificent castle and the most beautiful gardens in the region, even in France. The success of the Superintendent comes mainly from his collaboration with the architect Louis Le Vau, Charles le Brun, who is a painter and decorator without setting aside the gardener André Le Nôtre. But, victim of a conspiracy of the king Louis XIV, Fouquet is imprisoned in 1661 and the castle was sealed and the king took possession of all that was inside the castle even of the garden. The wife of Fouquet could not recover it until ten years later. After the death of Madame Fouquet's son in 1705, Vaux-le-Vicomte was put on sale, since that time, the castle has changed hands several times. The owners who have succeeded are: Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars in 1705, the Duke of Praslin in 1764. The descendants of the latter took care of the castle for a century, but after the estate were abandoned for thirty or so years. years. Then, they made it public auction and Alfred Sommier in 1875 became his new owner. The latter, who is a true art lover, restored the original beauty of the estate after it was abandoned and empty. Upon his death, his descendants, including Patrice and Cristina de Vogüé, continued the work of Alfred Sommier, which lasted more than 140 years. From there, the estate is a very interesting historical monument and attracts so many tourists especially between the months of April and October of each year. Doing so many historical tours is possible by booking a car service always on time.
