Description
Explore the vast grounds of Château de Chantilly. Meet kangaroos, enjoy a treasure hunt, and admire historic gardens.
Discover the enchanting Château de Chantilly Park, a sprawling 115-hectare estate that beautifully blends French, Anglo-Chinese, and English garden styles. Begin your adventure by exploring the meticulously designed French garden by André Le Nôtre, featuring vast water mirrors, numerous fountains, and an impressive collection of statues. This garden, Le Nôtre's favorite, offers a stunning display of geometric precision and harmony, with water jets reaching up to 5 meters high.
Next, wander through the Anglo-Chinese garden, designed in 1773 by Jean-François Leroy. This garden houses the charming Hamlet, a rustic collection of small houses that inspired Marie-Antoinette's Petit Trianon. Enjoy a meal at the traditional restaurant offering Chantilly cream delicacies, and immerse yourself in the garden's dense vegetation and playful structures.
Continue your journey to the English garden, a romantic landscape designed in 1817 by Victor Dubois. Here, you'll find the Isle of Love and the Temple of Venus, surrounded by swans and aquatic birds. The garden's naturalistic design contrasts with the formal French garden, offering a serene and poetic escape.
Throughout your visit, engage in family-friendly activities like meeting kangaroos and participating in a treasure hunt. The park ticket grants you access to all these experiences, ensuring a memorable day in a historic and picturesque setting. The visit concludes at the park, allowing you to continue exploring Chantilly or return to your accommodations at your leisure.
