Vaux-le-Vicomte is a masterpiece of the 17th century built by Nicolas Fouquet who just happened to be the Finance Minsiter of Louis XIV. Monsieur Fouquet hired Louis Le Vau as the architect and Andre le Notre as the landscape architect. The painter was Charles Le Brun. So impressive was the finished product that King Louis XIV was inspired to build Versailles.
