I too had the good fortune to once visit the place.

The gardens were so vast (without rhyme or reason) that Louise had to have a pamphlet to show his visitors how to best see the gardens!<br /><br />Loved this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047382600176843307.post-77615501806412966722011-10-10T03:36:43.002+02:002011-10-10T03:36:43.002+02:00Yes, Vaux is indeed wonderful--I well remember my ...Yes, Vaux is indeed wonderful--I well remember my first visit, how staggering it was!

The layout of the gardens is brilliant, with the terraces camouflaging the slope. But I would have loved, more than anything, to have attended this famous fete.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
