Vaux-le-Vicomte by Night: Golf Cart Gardens and a Three-Course Dinner
Most people see Vaux-le-Vicomte between coach arrivals, in the middle of the day, with the light flat on the front of the building. This one goes out in the evening and stays for dinner.
A luxury car collects you at your hotel in Paris and drives out to the 17th-century château. The gardens come first, crossed by golf cart, which is the sensible way to take in a garden built on this scale: Le Nôtre designed the grounds to be read from a distance and along an axis, and walking them end to end takes longer than most evenings allow.
Inside, the visit runs on an audio guide, through the hallways and galleries at whatever pace suits you.
Dinner is three courses, served outdoors, with Champagne and wine. Eating in the grounds of a château after the day visitors have gone is a different building altogether: quieter, and lit rather than floodlit.
The same car takes you back to Paris afterwards.
What's included
- 3-course dinner with one glass of Champagne, half a bottle of wine, water or/soda, coffee.
- Self-drive 45-minute golf cart rental
