Chantilly, located north of Paris, is inextricably linked with its magnificent château and centuries-old equestrian tradition. The Château de Chantilly houses the Musée Condé, an outstanding art collection featuring works by old masters and valuable manuscripts. The impressive Grandes Écuries, the Great Stables, are an architectural gem and now home to a vibrant living horse museum. Here, you can daily experience equestrian art demonstrations, highlighting the significance of horse sports for the region. The expansive château park, designed as a combination of French gardens and an English landscape park, invites extensive exploration.
