Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Vaux-le-Vicomte as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Moonraker
1979
“For example, the property was used as the California home of the main villain Hugo Drax in the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker.” Wikipedia

Marie Antoinette
2006
“While the action happens in Versailles (including the Queen's Petit Trianon and the Hameau de la Reine) and the Paris Opera (which was built after the death of the real Marie Antoinette), some scenes were shot in Vaux-le-Vicomte, Château de Chantilly, Hôtel de Soubise and at the Belvedere in Vienna.” Wikipedia
Named here by Vaux-le-Vicomte’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Vaux-le-Vicomte, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Versailles 2015–2018
“More recently, it featured as the Palace of Versailles for BBC/Canal+ production of the TV drama series Versailles.” Wikipedia
