About
Every Christmas the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Seine-et-Marne dresses up its grand rooms. This year's theme is a trip around the world: each salon becomes a stop, with decorated trees, automatons and a projection. Outside, kids hunt for clues in the gardens with a passport to stamp, toast marshmallows by the fire and watch a light show on the château's facade after dark.
From €19
