About this tour

Escape Paris for a private visit to Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th-century masterpiece surrounded by French formal gardens. With private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle and bottled water provided, the six-hour outing offers a comfortable way to reach this grand estate.

The château takes on a special atmosphere during seasonal events. On Candlelit Evenings, two thousand candles illuminate the château and gardens, with fountain displays, a champagne bar, a refined dinner and a gold-and-silver fireworks display described as part of the program. The 2026 Candlelit Evenings are scheduled for Saturdays from May 16 to September 26. During the Christmas season, traditional carols, festive lights and seasonal scents bring a classic holiday mood to the estate, with festivities running from November 14, 2026, through January 3, 2027.

Admission to Vaux-le-Vicomte is included. If it is booked out of season, admission to Château de Fontainebleau may be offered instead when preferred by the client. Discover the character of Vaux-le-Vicomte on a private Paris escape and choose a seasonal visit that suits your plans.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
