Château de Vaux stands in Vaux-sur-Seine (Yvelines), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, milieu 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Located in Vaux-sur-Seine, this 16th-century château retains four round towers and one original wing, later transformed in the 19th century by the sculptor Carlo Marochetti and then by his son. Both artists filled the building with their own works alongside reused decorative pieces - bas-reliefs, tapestries, leather panels - especially visible in the first-floor corridor. The eleven-hectare grounds include a wooded park, a kitchen garden and an orchard, and once welcomed visitors such as Rossini and Cavour.
