2.Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux Day Trip from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 339 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $138

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Paris to Vaux-le-Vicomte and Fontainebleau. Explore both palaces independently with audio guides, see grand rooms and gardens, climb Vaux-le-Vicomte’s dome if you are over 1.35 meters, and return to Paris around 6:15 pm.

“The visit to Fountainbleau was beautiful, however, the visit to Vaux le Vicomte was incredible!!! Vaux le Vicomte was unknown to us. but not anymore, the gardens were THE BEST part of this excursion. We would have given the excursion a 5 rating if not for the miserable ride to and from. Either the the coach driver didn't understand or the coach air conditioning was not working. It was warm on the way there and a sauna on the way back in the afternoon - miserable!! I guess it was worth it just for the visit to Vaux le Vicomte.”
