The article presents information on the Châhateau De Vaux in Paris. Though it is very accessible from Paris, the châhateau of Vaux is not often visited, its reputation is founded more on historical remembrances than on its own artistic merits. The style is what may be called pure seventeenth century. It was been at the time when French architects had abandoned the forms of the Renaissance and looked chiefly for a beautiful 'ordonnance'. The Châhateau of the Renaissance had been almost all built on the sites of old feudal castles and had preserved their complexity of towers, of inner and outer courts, of staircases; the architects of the sixteenth century cared little for symmetry and ordonnance.
