Château de Chantilly

  • One of France’s most beautiful sites, with an amazing park. A city of art and history now become the “capital of the horse”.
  • The Montmorency and Condé families, the Duc d'Aumale – princely patrons and proprietors.
  • Paintings, porcelains, the library (with the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry manuscript dating from the 15th century), the Singerie (“monkey room”) and its 18th-century vignettes....
  • Vatel, maître d’hôtel to Nicolas Fouquet and then to the Grand Condé in the 17th century, between myth and reality: the invention of crème chantilly (whipped cream).
Located less than 50 km from Paris, Chantilly castle is home to one of the finest art galleries in the country. Originally built in the early 16th century, the castle was subject to a number of reconstructions as well as a succession of owners. Today visitors can admire its interior opulence as well as the fountains, lakes, waterfalls, canals and maze that decorate this vast and exquisite estate.
