Chantilly palace and stables

Drive from Paris (approx. 1 hour 15 minutes) to explore:

• The Palace, home to an exceptional collection of paintings
• The Library, featuring over 60,000 rare books and 1,500 precious manuscripts
• The Great Stables and the Living Museum of the Horse

Lunch

Savor a traditional French picnic in the gardens, complete with wine and, of course, strawberries with Chantilly cream. If weather conditions are unsuitable for an outdoor picnic, enjoy lunch at a chic café within the domain.

Chantilly gardens

Tour the stunning gardens, followed by free time to explore at your leisure. Drive back to Paris (about 1 hour).

Options

Visit to the nearby Abbaye de Royaumont, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture built by King Louis IX between 1228 and 1235. Admire its vast, elegant vaults, the largest in France, the Cistercian cloister, and three "remarkable gardens" featuring a network of canals.
Extend your experience with an unforgettable evening event, whether it's a classical music concert, a lively jazz festival, or a chic collective picnic where guests are invited to dress in white (once a year in June).
