France 2023 || Vaux - Le -Vicomte || The most beautiful castle in France
I inserted chapters in this video so you can see what you want to see, though I can only suggest that you watch the entire video for a full experience. Scroll down for chapters.
This was the absolute highlight of my short visit with Mom. Vaux-Le-Vicomte is so far superior to Versailles, in my opinion. First, it is the one castle that inspired the King's grandiose palace, it has amazing history behind it (which I talk about in length) but it also has a home feel to it. Because it was, after all, an actual residence and not a show place for the court. From the impeccably maintained grounds, to the lavish interiors, Vaux Le Vicomte is the most beautiful castle in France.
In this video, I share the history of the castle, past and more recent and take you on a tour of the gardens, interiors, kitchen, carriage house and more. I hope you love it as much as I did.
Vaux le Vicomte offers amazing opportunities for entertainment , year round. Please check their website for more information on costume days, picnics, live theater, fireworks and special events.

The opinions provided in this video are strictly my own. I am no history expert, I just enjoy the sights and read about it to provide information as best as I can remember it. Bottom line, this is not the history Channel.

I agree completely with you that it is the most beautiful of all the French castles. I have always longed to visit and never had a chance util now through your consummate tour.

I understand why the king was jealous. I thought Versailles was beautiful but this place tops that! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.

Thank You So Very Much,to see this makes me so HAPPY!!!😘And a Great Thank You Also To Your Mother!! ❤❤

This is so beautiful and fascinating! Thank you for sharing.
What a glorious castle; and you did a great job translating, explaining, and filling in the blanks of history for us all. Great job!
Interesting. Nicely selected music.
A nice treat for you and your Mom. And for us, your viewers. Thank you for taking us along.
Loved hearing the history of such a beautiful "home". Thank You !
Sophia, this was fascinating! Not gonna lie, the mannequins were a little creepy, tho ! TFS !!
I definitely want to see!! Your telling of the history made it greatly intriguing.
Love, Love, Love this! Your mom is so great to be in the video also! Such a lovely woman!
such staggering opulence - no wonder the King was a tad ticked...but so beautiful! thanx for the tour........amazing!
Thank you for explaining this French History. I knew it was said The Man In The Iron Mask was based upon him, but a lot of the other history about him and his residence I was unaware aware of. So this was a very interesting video.
Hi, I loved it all. Helps to know the history beforehand. Your mum is fabulous. Love, love love it.
Wow! Thank you so much for the informative and beautiful video.
The sheer opulence is mind boggling, no wonder the powers that be thought there was some underhanded finances going on. Wonderful tour and narrative, you should be a tour guide.
This was just so perfect! I totally loved and so enjoyed this video and your history was supurbe! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. You did a fabulous job you and your mother.🦋
Sophia what a history, I want more. Now I understood some missing pieces of the history I study and read. Thank you,. And I always think your videos are short 😊 saludos y un fuerte abrazo.
I enjoyed your explanation of history and then to see that beautiful castle - what a bonus.
So very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Oh how I wish I could have gone to see this castle it is absolutely gorgeous...too bad that I'm in wheelchair. I've always been fascinated by this type of glamour. Too bad that we work our entire life and then we become disabled unable to do many things we dreamt of doing. I think that you are so blessed to have visited all those castles. God bless....
31:41 The man in the painting and his rt arm? 34:24 The table legs on the desks look like their wearing boots. Wow!
Was this your first time there and you moms? Is it not something the French do...sightseeing?

It would practically impossible to see everything there is to see. But yes, it was our first time there. Kind of like not all Anericans have visited the Biltmore or Williamsburg.
