Q:
We will be in Paris in a few weeks and we’re considering a visit to Vaux le Vicomte. The website indicates timed tickets must be purchased ahead but the only time slot shown on weekdays (through at least August) is 11 am, even though everything indicates the chateau is open until 5:30 daily.

A:

Not required at all. However, I do recommend that since French casual often runs more elegant than casual in the United States, you probably want to dress appropriately— if only for your own photo opportunities and the spirit of the Château’s original period! Comfortable walking shoes for spending the day there probably merit more attention than the clothing.
