About this tour

Discover the story of Vaux-le-Vicomte on a private day trip from Paris. Built for Nicolas Fouquet, superintendent of finance to Louis XIV, this château and its gardens brought together architect Louis Le Vau, painter Charles Le Brun, and garden designer André Le Nôtre. Their work later helped shape the vision for Versailles.

Your driver-guide picks you up at your hotel for the journey to the estate. Spend time exploring the château and gardens, with an optional golf cart available for visiting the grounds. The itinerary lists departure at 8:30 a.m., a visit from 10:00 a.m., and a return to Paris at 12:30 p.m., followed by hotel drop-off at 1:30 p.m. The listed tour duration is six hours.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.33 from 6 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 6.8.
