Enjoy an independent tour from Paris to Vaux-le-Vicomte Castle, known as the origin for the idea of the Palace of Versailles, with this package that provides admission to the château and round-trip transportation on the 'Chateaubus' shuttle from the local train station.

Shuttle was no where to be found after arriving at the melun train station. Went to the pickup up point and waited, finally I asked a bus driver, and he said “it’s not running today due to Easter Monday”! We ended up taking an Uber! Would like to be refunded for the transportation portion, please! Palace was beautiful!

Interesting house tour. No crowds, on a day when Versailles was packed. Having golf carts for the huge gardens was fun for the kids.

The visit to the Chateau itself was excellent. There were no large crowds so we really got to enjoy the rooms more intimately. However, the restaurant is HORRIBLE. Le Relais de l’Écureuil served pitiful-looking food (fish & veggies) that was literally slopped on the plate. It reminded me of dorm food. It was inedible in my opinion, luckily I had a pack of biscuits in my bag which is what we ate instead. The pitiful-looking food wasn't cheap either. I paid 18 euros if I'm not mistaken. Advise: bring your own lunch!

I visited in the summer and really enjoyed the audio tour, which gave a great history lesson about the castle and also France. I stayed for the fireworks, and it was worth it. The chateau grounds itself is very big. I recommend taking a picnic blanket and a picnic, so you can stop & rest during the walk around the gardens. It is beautiful. I took the train + shuttle to the chateau and then took the bus that went directly from the chateau to one of the Gares in Paris. Because it was so late at night, it might have been the only public transportation option — and as it was convenient, I recommend that option. Exchanging the shuttle bus ticket with them was not a problem at all.

The chateaux can be reached by rail from Gare del’est. The Chateaubus meets the train at Vermeil L’Etang. The well-preserved rooms and the tremendous gardens are a site to see. Highly recommend a visit.
