Head to Héliport d'Issy-Les-Moulineaux in southwest Paris in late afternoon to board your helicopter, and take to the skies toward Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. Gazing out at the glittering French capital below, spot famous sites like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, and continue over magnificent Versailles Palace.
Enjoy aerial views of the French countryside as you fly 35 minutes to Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, located near the town of Maincy about 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Paris. One of the most beautiful, stately and significant French castles, Vaux-le-Vicomte was the inspiration behind Versailles and a testament to the bold architectural vision of Nicolas Fouquet, who worked under King Louis XIV. You may also recognize the Château and gardens from the James Bond movie, Moonraker, the Man in the Iron mask with Di Caprio, Marie Antoinette and more recently the TV show Versailles.
After landing at the château, take a 45-minute spin around the gardens in a golf cart, or head straight inside with your provided audio guide. Learn about the castle's history as you admire lavish gilded walls, stone statues, beautiful tapestries and fine 17th-century furnishings. You’re free to wander as you please.
As dusk falls, the gardens twinkle with the lights of more than 2,000 candles. Head to the château's restaurant and sit down for a 3-course meal served with Champagne and wine, as classical music plays in the background. Choose from a beef and lobster menu or a vegetarian menu, all focusing on local, seasonal produce (see Itinerary below for a sample menu).
Afterwards, board a limousine and be whisked back to your Paris hotel.
