These days we went to visit the beauties of France and we decided to go to one of the finest jewels in the crown of France’s cultural heritage. The Chateau de Chantilly is a historic château located in the town of Chantilly, France.
Home to illustrious figures in French history, has been transformed several times over the centuries.
It is also the work of a man with an extraordinary destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), fifth son of Queen Marie-Amélie and King Louis-Philippe, the last King of France.
Thanks to the precautions taken by the Duke of Aumale in his will, Chantilly remains, more than a century later, a showcase of preserved works where the charm of the 19th century continues to reign.
The Duke of Aumale created the Conde Museum to house the chateau s magnificent collection of painting, furnishings, books, manuscripts and art treasures.
Owned by the Institut de France, it is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.
The chateau Park is a unique testament to the history of Western landscape gardening and the Grand Stables is a masterpiece of 18th century architecture, home to 30 show horses and dressage demonstrations and equestrian shows that are taking place twice per year.
