Chateau
Château de Chantilly
A storybook vision amid an artificial lake and magnificent gardens, the Château de Chantilly contains a superb collection of paintings within the Musée Condé. Left shambolic after the Revolution, the restored château consists of the attached Petit and Grand Châteaux, entered through the same vestibule. The estate’s Grandes Écuries (Grand Stables) are just to the west. From Easter to October, visit the estate aboard a little 'train' (adult/child €5/3.50, 11am to 6pm) or hire four-person golf carts (€32 per hour).
