Château de Vaux le Vicomte invites its social media fans for an unforgettable soirée! #FanVLV #VauxExperience

Château de Vaux le Vicomte

On Saturday evening, Stéphane and I stood in the courtyard of Château de Vaux le Vicomte with a group of fifteen strangers. While we had only traveled from Paris, several of the guests had driven over 500 kilometers to attend a very special soirée. The occasion? Vaux le Vicomte's premiere evening dedicated entirely to its social media fans. As we gathered around Community Manager Juliette Dagois, she explained that it was their way of expressing Vaux le Vicomte's gratitude for our support on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.

The agenda included  a private tour of the château with co-proprietor Alexandre de Vögué, a stroll through the gardens magically illuminated by more than 2,000 candles, a private dinner and a firework display for the grand finale.

While the evening was remarkable from start to finish, I was most impressed by the fact that several of the fans were visiting Vaux le Vicomte for the very first time. They were active supporters of the château without ever having seen the harmony and elegance of its French formal garden or the grand ceiling with its eight muses in the Salon des Muses. That's the power of social media!

  1. Good to know la Belle France is in sync with the [social media] times! A very special occasion indeed, even if some, like you, had already visited beautiful Vaux le Vicomte. Thank you for sharing! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    1. Veronique, Not all of France is in sync with the times but the places that are usually do a very good job on social media. What impressed me the most about Vaux le Vicomte is that they went to great lengths to show their appreciation to their active fans. In return, I'll happily continue to spread the word about the château on social media. Mary Kay

    1. You spotted me! Usually I offer to take the photo so that I'm not in it, but I couldn't do that this time.
