The Cagni Foundation C4 supports the enrichment of the collection of Les Amis de Vaux-le-Vicomte, as well as the restoration and enhancement of the décor of the private apartments of Nicolas and Marie-Madeleine Fouquet on the first floor of the château.
The Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a jewel of 17th-century French architecture. Located near Paris, it embodies the elegance and refinement of an era and a nation. Designed by architect Louis Le Vau, with gardens created by André Le Nôtre, Vaux-le-Vicomte is a truly iconic landmark.
Founded in 1983 and recognized as a public-interest organization in 2004, Les Amis de Vaux-le-Vicomte is dedicated to preserving the Vaux-le-Vicomte estate, enriching its collections, and producing cultural, scientific, and educational events that help share this major piece of French heritage with everyone. The donations it collects enable the estate to remain a living cultural venue, open and accessible to as many people as possible.
A place like Vaux-le-Vicomte belongs to all of us, and its preservation is a mission of public interest. By contributing to the acquisition of new pieces for the château’s collections, The Cagni Foundation C4 supports an institution that represents a form of excellence meant to be passed on to the widest possible audience.
