Chateau De Vaux-Le-Vicomte

The Vaux is located 55 km south east of Paris, the most elegant of all gardens, which was designed before versailles by Andre le Notre and Louis II le Van. The composition is perfectly proportioned and soothingly harmonious, with the gardens organised on a central axis. The axial principle derives from Bramante and was recommended by Andre Mollet. At vaux the axis passes through parterres, over basins of water, and into forests. Brilliant use of the landform allows many surprises, yet the composition is balanced from every point of view. The garden was laid out for a rich financies, Forquet and had many statues which Louis XIV removed after casting the owner into jail for being overly ambitious. Vaux was designed as place of slow, and remains splendid for a day’s promenade. Vaux fell into disrepair after Fouquet’s arrest. Eventually, it was carefully restored by Henri and Achille Duchene after 1875.
