Some of the filming was done at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, located in Maincy, near Melun, 55 kilometers (34 mi) southeast of Paris. It was built between 1658 and 1661, for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV. Fouquet celebrated the completion of the château with a most extravagant feast, at which every guest was given a horse. King Louis however felt upstaged by the grandeur of the home, the event and suspecting that such magnificence could only be explained through Fouquet's pilfering the royal treasury, had d'Artagnan arrest Fouquet. d'Artagnan was assigned to guard him for four years until Fouquet was sentenced to life imprisonment. Soon after this, d'Artagnan was promoted to captain-lieutenant of the Musketeers.
