Vaux le Vicomte

So I was on a picnic to Vaux le Vicomte on a trip arranged by my college. Here's a panorama from the day trip.

Well the Château has a sad history but we had a great time being there. And the college treated us to a day of fun.. what lunch on a bateau, day at the Château and what not! The day played a bit of a spoilsport though.. it was raining in patches. But the gardens of this Château were spectacular and apparently a huge influence on Versailles' ultimate design. Anyhow, what it did accomplish was get me wholly interested in French history. And so I have been devouring reading material and Youtube videos since. Will keep you posted on what happens from that (if anything does).
