Garden
Vaux-Le-Vicomte is the founding example of the classical French garden. Thanks to Nicolas Fouquet, the famous gardener André Le Nôtre was able to manifest the true extent of his genius in 1641. He was the first to bring together the technical, scientific and artistic knowledge of his age on a grand scale to create a garden.
