Fontainebleau and Vaux Le Vicomte

Day 24

Get ready for some amazing French architecture and design today!  We visited the Palace of Fontainebleu and Vaux Le Vicomte.


Fontainebleau was built on an older chateau in the 16th century.  


The furnishings and draperies were incredible!


The long gallery.


Beautiful natural light.


And some great gelato to top it off!


We had a picnic at a pavilion by Vaux le Vicomte before visiting the chateau.  Today was Griffin's birthday as well!  So he got an eclair with candles!  Happy Birthday Griffin!


Vaux le Vicomte!


The gardens were beautiful!  As well as the chateau itself!  Lots of history.


We got to stay until after the sun went down....


And a perfect day ended with fireworks!!
