_The Château de Vaux le Vicomte_ is a translation of the
text of a sumptuously illustrated volume descriptive of this
wonderful monument of human frailty and ambition, published
in 1888 by Lemercier et Cie with plates by Rodolphe Pfnor.
Although the text has not been published apart from the
plates in France, it seemed only fitting to include a
translation of _The Château de Vaux le Vicomte_ in a
complete edition of Monsieur Anatole France's works.
