It is also the work of a man with an extraordinary destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale, son of the last King of France, Louis-Philippe. This prince, who is considered to be the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the showcase for his countless masterpieces and precious manuscripts. He put together the second largest collection of antique paintings in France, after the Louvre Museum.
The grounds and the gardens at the Château de Chantilly cover almost 115 hectares. Originally designed by André Le Nôtre, the grounds were enriched down through the centuries with new creations as fashions changed.
A true equestrian centre thanks to the variety of disciplines practised there, Chantilly offers infrastructures that are the envy of the world: horse racing, show jumping, polo, combined driving, horse-riding…
For anyone with a sweet tooth!
