ATTENTION! for 2026
Summer Candlelit Evenings:Every Saturday from 16 May to 26 September 2026
The Christmas festivities Run from November 14, 2026, through January 3, 2027
Depending on the time of year you visit, your experience of Vaux-le-Vicomte will be truly unique.
Candlelit Evenings
Vaux-le-Vicomte invites its visitors to rediscover this 17th-century masterpiece by the flickering light of two thousand candles, illuminating the château and its French formal gardens. A refined romantic dinner, fountain displays and a champagne bar complete this enchanting evening outside of time. A gold and silver fireworks display will bring the night to a close.
A Classic French Christmas
Sparkles, twinkles, the smell of Christmas spices and chocolate, traditional carol songs and glowing lights will bring out your inner Santa. But this is no Disney castle - Vaux-le-Vicomte's Christmas coat is traditional, classic, elegant and just a little kitsch, as the best Christmases should be.
