For extended stays in the region, you could:

• Visit the fabulous Vaux le Vicomte, one of France’s finest châteaux.  This was the residence of Nicolas Fouquet (1615-1680), a faithful minister who was falsely imprisoned for theft.  He had gathered around him the finest artists, writers and poets of the time, all of whom have left their mark on this magnificent estate.  A full day is required to view the lavish interiors, extensive formal and ornamental grounds complete with dramatic fountains and horse-drawn carriage museum.
