| On our first day in France, we visited Vaux le Vicomte, a chateau east of Paris. Built in the mid 1600's by Nicolas Fouquet, the chateau is surrounded by a moat and immense formal gardens. King Louis XIV even thought it a bit too grand for anyone else but himself, and threw Fouquet in jail for the rest of his life on trumped up charges after Fouquet hosted an extravagant party. | |
