A Day at Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte

Alexandre de Vogüé, Jean-Charles de Vogüé & Ascanio de Vogüé

Description

An insider’s tour of the magnificent seventeenth-century castle and gardens that inspired the design of Versailles and was later home to the great chef Vatel, who famously died for his art.

This volume traces the château’s history from the seventeenth century through the Belle Époque, World War I and its public opening in 1968. Exclusive photography and archival documents offer unprecedented access to the château, furnishings, and gardens, and illuminate the extraordinary secrets of court life and centuries of celebrations that include the enchanting candlelit tours held today.
