Some people call this Versailles 1.0. Although Vaux is not a royal palce, it was also designed by Le Notre and there are many features that showed up later in Louis's grand chateau.
I was a little sad we didn't have a blue sky this day, but the looming clouds also make for an interesting landscape. Photo taken in October 2006.
The clouds give a moody and broody feel to the place. I'm not sure I would have wanted to visit on that day. Scratch that - it's a wonderful place to see on ANY day!
