It was originally with the c. You would get some great photos if you went to one of the costume parties at VleV Carol. Even just to a 'Nuit des Chandelles'. I wonder what they do at Christmas. We are so far away, in Australia. There are some nice Chambres d'hôte near VleV - you could make 2 days of it. I love every single blog you produce.

I also adore Vaux-le-Vicomte, so I have to comment : ' Just as the chateau is a mini version of Versailles designed by the same architect, Louis le Vaux, landscaper, Le Notre and interior decorator, Charles Le Brun.....". Well Vaux was built BEFORE Versailles. The story is fascinating. Louis 14th (in a potted history) put Fouquet in prison, took his chateau and his Vau, Le Notre and Le Brun and told them 'build me something bigger'...which is Versailles. And your portrait is of Le Brun, not Nicolas Fouquet (or Foucquet). I wish I could back there just one more time.....Kind regards and thankyou.
