Comments

Vaux-le-Vicomte is the creation of three artists brought together by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's superintendent of finances: architect Louis Le Vau, gardener André Le Nôtre and painter-decorator Charles Le Brun.
From the moment of its inauguration on the famous August 17, 1661, Vaux-le-Vicomte was the envy of the Sun King, and became the model from which the whole of Europe drew its inspiration.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Vaux-le-Vicomte est la création de trois artistes réunis par Nicolas Fouquet, surintendant des finances de Louis XIV : l’architecte Louis Le Vau, le jardinier André Le Nôtre et le peintre-décorateur Charles Le Brun.
Dès son inauguration lors de la fête célèbre du 17 août 1661, Vaux-le-Vicomte suscite la convoitise du Roi Soleil et devient le modèle dont l’Europe entière s’inspirera.
