	Nicolas Fouquet
		Fouquet was dispatched to Pignerol, a small fortified position in the Alps of Savoy, dominated by the dungeon of the fortress in which he was to be imprisoned and closely guarded until his mysterious death on 23rd March 1680.
		Fouquet was destroyed by his own charms, pride, abilities, beauty, and the resulting kind of naiveté, that made him believe he were invincible.
		Le Brun abandoned the apotheosis of Fouquet he was to paint on the dome of the entrance hall of Vaux-le-Vicomte abruptly, and on the day after the arrest the painter cowardly begged Mme Colbert to accept the present of a drawing.

	Vaux-le-Vicomte, France
		Fouquet's enjoyment of the property, however, was short-lived.
		Ignoring all warnings, he entertained Louis XIV at a spectacular celebration at Vaux-le-Vicomte on August 17 1661, a lavish event for which Molière had written a new comedy, "Les Fâcheux"; but only three weeks later he was arrested for enriching himself from his office and condemned to imprisonment for life, and Vaux-le-Vicomte was confiscated.
		Fouquet's private apartments on the upper floor have been largely preserved in their original state.

		Nicolas Fouquet was viscount of Melun and of Vaux.

	Fouquet's Trial
		But it was even before the launching of Colbert's attack that Fouquet took an action that showed most melodramatically an awareness of his jeopardy: he began to draft and revise a plan to incite a civil war in the event of his downfall and to detach Brittany in his cause.
		Fouquet's natural extravagance allied itself with a great love of the arts, and Vaux was the masterpiece of his life.
		de Sévigné's account of Fouquet's trial is her report of the summations of the evidence by the recorders and the casting of the votes by the judges, an agonizingly slow process that was the subject of five letters to M. de Pomponne between December 9 and 20, 1664.

		Colbert has an intense hatred for M. Fouquet, the king's superintendent of finances, and has resolved to use any means necessary to bring about his fall.
		He then brings to the king's attention that Fouquet is fortifying the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, and could possibly be planning to use it as a base for some military operation against the king.
		Fouquet rushes to the king, and gives him Belle-Isle as a present, thus allaying any suspicion, and at the same time humiliating Colbert, just minutes before the usher announces someone else seeking an audience with the king.

		Unfortunately for Fouquet, however, his days at the top were numbered: on the night of one of his very own balls, the King, in true Louis XIV style, had Fouquet arrested and later sentenced to life imprisonment.
		Prior to the reconstruction of Fouquet’s Château, landscape and architecture were considered two entirely different entities: buildings were meant to dominate a space rather than blend with it, and grounds were considered a second-tier priority, a mere decoration for the nearby palace.
		Upon acquiring the uninhabited Ile St.Louis from the church in the early 1600s, Louis XIII immediately put Le Vau at the head of the project, and Le Vau is responsible for the creating the Hotels Particuliers that now give the Ile its distinctive character.

		Fouquet effortlessly spent only five years (1656-1661) in creating his country home masterpiece, Vaux le Vicomte, an astonishing feat under the circumstances.
		Not only did Fouquet fill in the valleys between three villages (without bulldozers) to accomplish this feat, he also discovered and launched Louis le Vau, the architect, Charles Le Brun, the decorator, and Andre Le Notre, the landscape artist, all of whom were essential to its creation.
		Vaux le Vicomte was by far the most splendid and sumptuous country home in Europe when an unsuspecting Louis XIV was invited to the celebration of its opening in 1661.
