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.”

From Paris: Chateau de Fontainebleau & Vaux-Le-Vicomte Tour

5.Chateau de Fontainebleau & Vaux-Le-Vicomte Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 96 reviews · 10 hours · from $259Top rated

Travel by air-conditioned minibus from Paris to Vaux-le-Vicomte and Fontainebleau with an English-speaking guide. Explore Vaux’s 17th-century rooms and 99-acre gardens, then see Fontainebleau’s royal apartments, chapel, and Napoleon museum. Guides such as Valeria, Philippe, and Clémentine have helped make this a relaxed, well-organized day out.

“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.”

Paris: O Chateau’s Wine Tasting Dinner

8.O Chateau’s Wine Tasting Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 30 reviews · 1h 30m · from $140

At O Chateau near the Louvre, an English-speaking sommelier pairs four French wines, including Champagne, with a three-course seasonal dinner. You will learn to read French labels, taste wine properly, and choose pairings in a historic vaulted setting. Kim has led a particularly warm and informative evening here.

“We have done two previous wine tasting dinners with O Chateau and have enjoyed them both. However, this experience was far inferior to the last two. Our host was charming and engaging but the food and wine left a lot to be desired. Prior dinners included pate fois gras, filet and a wonderful dessert, all accompanied by generous pours of featured wine. This dinner featured soup, grilled ribeye steak that was practically inedible (fatty and sinewy and served lukewarm) with a few bland fingerling potatoes, and a minuscule serving (spoonful) of what I think was chocolate mousse or ganache.
