This majestic castle inspired Versailles and dazzled the Sun King.
It was the dream and the nightmare of its superintendent of finances, Nicolas Fouquet, who would have fallen into disgrace because of this wonderful place, arousing the jealousy of a young monarch.
The greatest creative minds have worked on this site: the architect Louis le Vau, the painter Charles le Brun, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, who, thanks to their talent, have made this place one of the most beautiful castles in Europe and one of the jewels of French classical architecture of the 17th century.
