simply fantastic !
The majestic vaux-le-vicomte is absolutely beautiful. this splendor and glory of the entire complex, the garrden.. and also the furniture in the castle... impressive! Also the historical background of the creation in connection with Nicolas Fouquet and Louis XIV (thanks for the history-lesson !). The entire complex probably also served as a model for Versailles, I read ! Great photos again from a great day; We're very happy for and with you! Good idea with the golf cart :-)) Dear Peter
