Everything about Vaux-le-Vicomte is exquisite. I visited years ago and will definitely go back. Thanks to the Vogüé family for sharing this magnificent gem with us.

The redecorating of the garden is magnificent, it compliments the chateau perfectly, it's beautiful!

That was an architectural masterpiece. I loved the breakdown of how it was built.

One of the best historical documentaries I’ve ever seen! Absolutely love the subject of French royal and noble history

[@0hMyLife]

Beautiful!! I am absolutely OBSESSED with Louis XIV and anything to do with that time period!! Thank you for this wonderful documentary!!!! 💖

[@michaelburgess9707]

Absolutely the most beautiful house in the world. Thank you for this excellent presentation and especially to the Vogue family for their continual stewardship of this world masterpiece. I thank the French people as it was your purloined money that built this wonder. As they all were robbing the country blind, especially Richelieu and Mazarin, I think this legacy is much better than the endless, fruitless wars, that depleted your true treasure, all the young men who died.

I've been enamored of Vaux since I first saw photographs of it many many years ago. Was there ever a greater team of architect, garden designer, and painter/decorater than leVau, leNotre, and leBrun? Versailles is the greatest, but Vaux is the one perfect place.

One can only be mesmerised by the imagination and creative minds of all involved. The craftmanship, organisational skills to pull off such a project in the 17th century.

[@jelsner5077]

It's hard to believe it only took 13 months from start to finish. My kitchen reno took 6 months!

Love this series of how they built these amazing structures! I saw the episode on Fontainebleau. Does this series only cover French structures? Or are there parts in this series from other countries like England, Scotland, Germany etc? If so I'd love to know where I could see them if not on here! I love the partial historical drama part as well as the visual explanations with the 3D diagrams of the buildings. SO IN DEPTH AND DETAILED I LOVE IT!

[@brittneybyus]

I love this series! Thank you for the great content.

We visited Vaux le Vicomte in 2017 on our trip in France. Batiment absolutement magnifique, breathtaking landscapes of gardens, we walked the entire day.

[@FireRose.77]

I knew it!! It looked like the location for "The Man in the Iron Mask." It is!!

[@tonygarcia5197]

[@tyeteames7192]
