Enjoyed a truly magical evening at the Chateau during it's 'Candle light' evenings. Even though it was raining on and off, everything was beautiful. We walked the grounds when we arrived, all lit w… Full review by rrout

Loved it, but had higher expectations as it was advertised as a castle that, along with the gardens, inspired the construction of the Château de Versailles. The audio guide was quite informative. It … Full review by Y K

We will be in Paris in a few weeks and we’re considering a visit to Vaux le Vicomte. The website indicates timed tickets must be purchased ahead but the only time slot shown on weekdays (through at least August) is 11 am, even though everything indicates the chateau is open until 5:30 daily. Is there really only one tour time daily, or is the time of entry not actually restricted on weekdays?

You may be better off joining a tour. That eliminates the timed entry issue. I had a good experience last week with Blue Fox Tours based in Paris. It will also eliminate the challenges …
You may be better off joining a tour. That eliminates the timed entry issue. I had a good experience last week with Blue Fox Tours based in Paris. It will also eliminate the challenges in getting to the chateau. It's out in the country and I think it would hard to find.
What is the dress code for Saturday night dinners? Is coat and tie required? Thanks

Not required at all. However, I do recommend that since French casual often runs more elegant than casual in the United States, you probably want to dress appropriately— if only for your …
Not required at all. However, I do recommend that since French casual often runs more elegant than casual in the United States, you probably want to dress appropriately— if only for your own photo opportunities and the spirit of the Château’s original period! Comfortable walking shoes for spending the day there probably merit more attention than the clothing.
I am just looking for some help getting from Disneyland to Vaux-le-Vicomte by train. I know I get on the RER A at Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy train station but where do I get off and which line do I take to Vaux-le-Vicomte ? Vaux-le-Vicomte stop is Verneuil l’Etang train station where the shuttle will meet us. Any help appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
A:
We used uber once at local train station. When we go back (because yes this chateau is that awesome), we will rent a car and check our another chateau and make it a full day.
