Vaux Le Vicomte












Our next stop that day was Vaux Le Vicomte. This residence, is not only known for the house itself & its grounds, but it’s also known for candle light. When it gets dark, this place is lit using nothing but candlelight- this includes all through the house and gardens! They also play classical music throughout the gardens to complement it. This was a beautiful & super romantic experience. It was like a fairytale. I have never seen anything like it! We took a tour through the house, & sketched & ventured through the acres of gardens that exist around it. This residence was basically just built and owned by an extremely wealthy man-not royalty believe it or not! This was the first place we’ve seen that actually had a mote around it! Pretty cool!
