5.00This was a fantastic tour! Fountainebleau is spectacular. This large chateau and the history inside is absolutely fascinating. Vaux Le Vicomte was such a majestic chateau full of grace and charm. The history of it was captivating. If you are lucky enough to get Augustin as your guide, you are in for the best day. He is the perfect guide. He was so kind and genuine and his knowledge on the chateau’s and the 3rd medieval castle that you stop by is outstanding. I really enjoyed learning from him because he knew so much. He was very engaging and made the day so perfect. His restaurant recommendation was really nice as well. Highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.
