“Martine was an excellent guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about life in Versailles and the kings. It was a very enjoyable tour and Martine made it interactive and fun. Thoroughly recommend the tour to gain insight into the history of the Palace and gardens”

Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux Day Trip from Paris

4.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 independently with multilingual audio guides, visit Vaux-le-Vicomte’s dome, and wander formal gardens. This is transportation plus admission, not a guided sightseeing tour, so bring your own curiosity, walking shoes, and a careful eye on departure times.

“I expected a guide to at least accompany us on our trip, possibly discuss some of the local history. We had only a bus driver, who was friendly but gave us no instructions. The buildings were amazing. I really wanted to row a boat at Fontainebleau, but they were not open that day; there was no explanation why.”
