Vaux-le-Vicomte: A Private Invitation

What a great mix this table book delivers…..architecture even for non architects, political drama on site with King Louis XIV. A great combination of photography, antique maps, and impossible to replicate furnishings. It gets you wondering what it would have been like to attend the fete for Louis!

I have visited the chateau 3 times including the candlelight dinner and fireworks. The chateau and the Nicholas Fouquet story are unforgettable.The lesson is don’t show off to your boss. It is also a story of the beginning of Versailles.The family that owns it should be proud!Bill Smith, Truckee, Ça.

I was expecting an exceptional photographic portrait of this fantastic building. Instead photos are limited to a few spaces and seem repetitive. A book like this should come with floor plans and insight into every major room in the residence. None of the photos look dramatic or give much punch to the grandeur of the place. Disappointing.

This is a beauty of a book and does the subject matter justice! Quality of paper, size, photos, text -- love it all!

Would have liked floor plans and photos of the current use of the building. Most of the photos are closeups. Limits understanding of the rooms.

A superbly written book with masterful photographs! The layout and the color scheme is exquisite.

Beautifully laid out book, with stunning photographs and well written text.

The best publication on Vaux I have read.Clear, concise, historically accurate and perfectly photographedAn absolute must have!

Un des plus beau château de France, super volume qui donne un aperçu très détaillé de ce château, belles photos, je le recommande, livraison rapide de la part d'Amazon!
