About this activity

Visit two magnificent French chateaux during the Christmas holidays.

First of all, discover the castle of Fontainebleau, "the true house of Kings" where each King has lived since the Middle Ages.

Then, be Nicolas Fouquet's guest for a day at Christmas at the Château de Vaux le Vicomte. Adorn yourself with the red velvet cape that will be loaned to you for the occasion and stroll through this magnificent decorated and lively castle. Many activities will be possible for everyone, such as the treasure hunt for children or the show “The King is Coming” for everyone. Refinement and the French art of living will be in the spotlight.
