Les conseils nicolas Fouquet manager hauts potentiels T
The dream of Nicolas Fouquet, it was the inspiration for Versailles. Louis XIV was impressed enough to employ the same team of architects and landscapers and painter/interior designers: Louis Le Vau, André Le Notre and Charles Le Brun.
Less than one hour from Paris by train and navette I suggest you arrive in the afternoon and stay for champagne,dinner and the stunning candlelit show.
 NEW this year-return to Gare de Lyon by navette

Far more intimate than Versailles and much less crowded you can savor the treasures of the chateau at a leisurely pace.
