Château Vaux le Vicomte, France

If couples come to Paris and want to have an extremely romantic experience, I highly recommend watching the fireworks at the Chateau Vicomte. Several castles near Paris, such as the Palace of Versailles, the Palace of Fontainebleau or the Castle of Vincennes, are either open only during daytime, have restricted open areas or have a strong military fortress atmosphere. In addition to its beautiful 17th-century French Baroque architecture and gardens, the Vicomte Castle also has two thousand candles lit throughout the castle and gardens at night, and fireworks on Saturdays. The Château de Vicomte was built by Louis XIV's finance minister, Fouquet, who hired the top French architects, decorators and gardeners of the time. It also ushered in the style of the Louis XIV era - the interior, exterior and courtyard of the building were all planned as a whole, and the garden must have a prominent central axis. This masterpiece of French architecture in the 17th century not only served as the inspiration for the later construction of the Palace of Versailles, but was also the last straw that led to its owner, Fouquet, being thrown into prison. It is said that many people at that time informed Louis XIV that Fouquet's astonishing wealth was obtained through improper channels. Louis XIV was skeptical at first, until Fouquet invited Louis XIV to his home and was amazed at the magnificence of the castle. Louis XIV immediately arrested Fouquet and then confiscated his property and sold it. #FrenchCastle #FrenchTourism #FrenchTravel #France #FrenchPlaces
