Nicolas Fouquet’s greatness and misfortune

Nicolas Fouquet’s greatness and misfortune
  © A.J.Cassaigne

As a tribute to Nicolas Fouquet, the richest French intendant, the Vaux-Le-Vicomte castle invites you to a 3D animated fiction-documentary with living statues.

Come spend a day with Louis the XIVth, Jean De La Fontaine, Madame de Sévigné or even the owner of the place himself, Nicolas Fouquet. You will relive some key moments of his life and of the History of France through reconstructions as close to reality as possible, with wax characters that come to life and talk, holograms and the projection of a filmed ball. This show gives the impression to have come back four centuries ago. The staging aims to show Nicolas Fouquet’s investment and his repercussion in the art world and in the artists’ conditions in France.
