Why we recommend it

"Honestly, this excursion cleverly combines two complementary castles: Fontainebleau for French royal history and Vaux-le-Vicomte to understand the birth of French art de vivre. Having private transport changes everything - no more time constraints of group tours. It's a bit pricey but when you see that you skip the lines and have your own driver-guide, it's totally justified."

The experience

This private excursion takes you to discover two of France's most beautiful castles. First stop: Fontainebleau, this royal residence that has spanned centuries and housed France's greatest sovereigns. You'll admire Napoleon Bonaparte's throne and the sumptuous royal apartments. After a lunch break in the charming town of Fontainebleau, head to Vaux-le-Vicomte, a true masterpiece of the Grand Siècle. This exceptional castle was born from the collaboration between Le Vau (architect), Le Brun (decorator) and Le Nôtre (landscaper) - the trio who later created Versailles. Stroll through its perfectly ordered French gardens and let yourself be told the fascinating story of Nicolas Fouquet. Your driver-guide accompanies you all day for a tailor-made experience.
