Day visit to Château de Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte

★ 4.6 (1,900)$$$ · ExpensiveGuided Tour (Day Expedition)

A 9-10 hour day trip visiting Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, the 17th-century estate said to have inspired Versailles, followed by the UNESCO-listed Château de Fontainebleau, home to French royalty for seven centuries. Audio-guided, self-paced visits at both sites with time to explore the gardens.

💡 Good to know

A golf cart rental at Vaux-le-Vicomte costs extra (bring a driver's license if you want one). The two châteaux have very different scales, so pace yourself.
