It's time for a day trip to Vaux-le-Vicomte!
This week, I'll show you how to visit the magnificent chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte with Bertrand d’Aleman from award-winning travel company My Private Paris.
We took a private van from Paris, then spent half a day exploring the chateau and its grounds. This was a family-friendly visit (two families on board!) but the episode is aimed at everyone and anyone.
My Private Paris is a local deluxe agency, crafting itineraries for tours in Paris and beyond (including, of course, Champagne). See what they offer here. Here is their full-day trip to Vaux le Vicomte plus Fontainebleau.
Music: Pres Maxson.

1:03.3 | you must do it. |
1:04.7 | I've also been in the summer. |
1:05.8 | It was lovely too, |
1:06.6 | but this Christmas thing was really next level. |
