Not only are the château and its gardens beautiful, but the château is also an important museum of art. The combination of excellent paintings displayed in beautiful surroundings would be a sufficient reason to visit, but make sure to walk around the grounds and enjoy the water features, too.
The Château de Chantilly is a historic French château located in the town of Chantilly, Oise, about 50 kilometres north-northeast of Paris. The site comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château, built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. The château is owned by the Institut de France, which received it from Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale.
