One of our favorite outings!
- During candlelight evenings, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and the 33 hectares of gardens designed by Le Nôtre are lit by candles
- These evenings take place every Saturday evening, from mid-May to early October
- The show is magical with more than 2000 candles that sparkle throughout the estate (park and castle)
- These nightly visits by candlelight are a real delight. It’s a magical way to discover the Vaux le Vicomte estate
- Candlelight evenings have existed since 1980 and are a great success every year
- So romantic!
- By candlelight, the garden of Vaux-le-Vicomte becomes mysterious. The works of art, paintings and statues are offered to the visitor in a very special atmosphere
- The evening ends with a magnificent fireworks display : this takes place at 11 p.m. from May 14 to August 26, then at 10:15 p.m. from September 3 to October 1
