Visit 2 of the most remarkable castles of France on a day trip from Paris- the Vaux-le-Vicomte and the Chateau de Fontainebleau.

Visit the castle of Vaux le Vicomte in a traditional way or by following the Fouquet plot. Explore the palace of Fontainebleau with your Visio guide.

The mid-17th century classical gem, the Vaux the Vicomte, is the château that inspired King Louis XIV to build Versailles. Enjoy informative audio commentary as you discover Nicolas Fouquet’s private apartments, the state rooms, and the château's great kitchens and vaulted cellars. The commentaries come with 3D sound that give your experience a whole new dimension.

For the second leg of the tour, journey into the heart of the forest of Fontainebleau. Journey time between the two châteaux is approximately 45 minutes. A UNESCO World Heritage Site whose history dates to the 12th century, the castle was one of the residences of the rulers of France from the reigns of Francis I to Napoleon III. Study the Mediaeval, Renaissance, and classical influences on the château's history and construction, marked by the stay of several kings.

Explore the lavishly furnished château, its priceless collections, and key pieces such as the throne of Napoleon I and the famous horseshoe-shaped staircase while enjoying audio commentary.
