“A no hassle trip. It is self guided but the coach ride was relaxing and they are timely and give you plenty of time to explore and eat. The Chateau Fontainebleau was not crowded and really let you see so much more of chateau life. The Vaux le Vicomte Chateau was also amazing although smaller.”

“I liked the small group, mostly because it made the transportation very comfortable in a van vs a bus. Clementine was a great, safe driver and a VERY knowledgeable guide. Her English is very good and easy to understand. The chateaux we visited were beautiful, and I felt that we had plenty of time at both, plus ample opportunities for bathroom breaks, and a nice choice of places for a quick lunch. I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Paris. In fact, I would happily do it again.”
Visit Vaux-le-Vicomte from Paris with château entry, gardens, 3D audio guide, and Chateaubus transfers via Melun.
“Shuttle bus left Paris exactly on time, was waiting where it was supposed to for transit back to Paris, and left Melun exactly on time. The Chateau was beautiful, well-furnished with period pieces, extremely well-maintained - especially the grounds. The pre-recorded audio guide told an interesting story of the chateau, and made the experience more meaningful.”
