Vaux-le-Vicomte with a Bilingual Driver and Electric Car at Your Disposal

This is a car and a driver for the day rather than a guided tour, and for Vaux-le-Vicomte that solves the real problem. The château sits outside the reach of the Paris network, the last stretch has to be driven, and taxis do not wait. The driver collects you from your address, takes you to the castle and brings you home again. The return leg is included, not an extra. In between, the vehicle stays at your disposal: if the group wants lunch somewhere on the way back, or a stop for shopping, the day bends around that instead of around a timetable. The cars are premium electric, and the driver is bilingual, which matters more on a private booking than it does on a coach. As for the destination: Vaux-le-Vicomte was the estate of Nicolas Fouquet, finance minister to Louis XIV, and it is held to be one of the most modern and elegant works of the 17th century in France, with no royal property to match it. The itinerary can be adjusted on request before the day.
