We are planning on going when we are in Paris. If you have been where are the fireworks held and what is a good spot to view that will also allow for easiest exit to catch the last shuttle?
We plan on bringing a picnic - I am assuming it is OK to take wine in (it is France)?
Christi,
The designated picnic areas appear in pink at the top and the bottom of this map - http://www.vaux-le-vicomte.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Planpiquenique.jpg
I'm sure that wine is expected.
It seems the view is best from their restaurants - http://www.vaux-le-vicomte.com/en/news/the-candlelit-evenings/
According to an entry on tripadvisor the food was expensive and not too good but an earlier entry on this forum says the food was acceptable (and expensive) - https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/france/vaux-le-vicomte-candle-light-dining-ad9ea813-95f0-4181-9b6f-33ecce281602
