chateau de chantilly

不大不小的一座庄园，这是一座19世纪的建筑，历史感并不是很强，但融合了多个时期法国建筑、装饰艺术风格的城堡和花园还是值得一看。与枫丹白露和凡尔赛相比，这里缺少了一些皇家的气魄，但更有家的温暖感觉。城堡内每一处的布置都依照原主人的吩咐维持着当年的状态，走入其中颇有穿越时空之感。

在巴黎市中心坐RER就可以到Gare de Chantilly，然后在行约20分钟就会到尚蒂伊城堡。城堡的入场费是7欧元，而花园入场费也是7欧元。虽然只去花园野可以看到这美丽的城堡，但很推荐入城堡内参观，因为里面充满着法国古典而优雅的设计，而且有很多画。花园真的很大，也有几个很大的喷泉。当天参观的人数不多，反而天鹅比人更多。

The Chateau de Chantilly IS Chantilly! One of the few furnished chateau's in France after the war,,some of the rooms can't be visited anymore but still a great visit; plus the parcs & a ride in the hot air balloon( in summer). Don't forget to visit the Musee du Cheval aswell, spectacular!!

We were looking for a day trip within close proximity driving distance from Paris and settled upon a visit to the chateau in Chantilly. The outside of the chateau is beautiful, set on a lake with lovely architecture. It is "picture perfect". You can purchase a ticket to do a self-guided tour with an audioguide, or add on a guide for the private apartments (which we did not do). There is also a horse museum and show, which is located nearby on the grounds, and can be purchased separately, or as a combination ticket for a discount. You can also buy a ticket that includes the gardens, although they were not in bloom and the fountains would not be running during the time of our visit. Our visit was near the end of our trip and it was freezing cold outside (-2 degrees Celsius), so we opted to visit only the palace, as we were not interested in walking outdoors and did not have a lot of interest in the horse museum after reading reviews. The outside of the building looked beautiful, but neither of us is interested in equestrian history. The palace itself is beautiful both inside and out. The audioguide was helpful, as signs were only in French. Its last owner, Henri d'Orleans, was a collector of books and art, and had no heirs, so he left his collection to be opened as a museum and it is left essentially as it was when he passed away. Restoration was going on in a few places during our visit, but we were still able to see almost every room typically open for the tour. His collections are very impressive. I would recommend a visit to anyone who is interested in visiting a chateau or has an interest in art and would like to see it in a setting like this. Photos are allowed without a flash, and there were not many visitors, which made it a great time to visit. Allow 1-2 hours just for the visit to the chateau.

This is the home of a number of French paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries. The rooms are furnished and filled with all kinds of fun stuff to look at. The library is very impressive, as are the rooms. I would make a return visit. I would skip the equestrian stuff if that is not your interest. Parking is on sight, with plenty of room. This was a very nice chateau, one of my favorites.

When looking through manuscripts and paintings from 16th century France, i cannot feel admiration and at how things looked and were redesigned as this old castle complex was by the Montmorrency and Conde families, a short 25 kms from Paris The interior is stunning to the max, imposing in its grandeur and largeness, while outside the moat surrounding the chateau is now pushing up roses and other beautiful natural confections with gorgeous artificial lakes within the park. The chateau is unique for its art collection which hangs in galleries and features an extraordinary number of portraits. We loved the former library which is in mint condition containing original books, including Durer's Melancolia and the Book Of hours of the Duc de Berry. Chantilly is also famous for its race course and associated stud farm.

This castle is sooo beautifull. Its very big, the gardens are beautiful You need a day to go here because is like 25 minutes away from paris in train. but is worthed

Really excellent cultural experience. Even open over Christmas holidays with a very good Botecelli exhibition.Lovely setting with the racecourse and stables.

Outstanding castle and collection to visit.The castle is a must do if you are in the area. For groups, it is possible to organise a private visit which is a delight.Enjoy the tour!

My husband and I toured the Chateau on a rainy day in July and thoroughly enjoyed it! The self-guided tour was easy with the headsets provided at the entrance so we could both go at our own pace. We loved learning about the history of the Chateau and area in general. Following our tour of the Chateau, we walked downtown for lunch then headed back over to the Museum of the Living Horse (a little less exciting in my opinion, but great for horse lovers), then followed that with a spectacular horse show. Great afternoon and absolutely perfect for a rainy day.

This grand chateau is now part of the public domain by virtue of the generosity of the the Duc d'Alumale and what a legacy of art, and history. You can see this mueum the chateau and the Mueum of the Living Horse all in the one place. Just Fabulous.glendon1954.wordpress.com

It's the castle they used to shoot a James Bond movie with Roger Moore I always loved This place with the woods the water with some fishesthe green grass where we use to picnic and playThe visit might be expensive compare to other French places but still worth itYou have a horse museum not far When you drive in the area you ll see the old Medevial style or traditional houses

We took the train at Guard du Nord, and then a cab to the castle. We arranged for the taxi to pick us up later. The collections are superb. Do not miss the Apartments tour. The restaurant is ok, and the restrooms are perfect. Save time to visit the Horses' Museum. A fabulous visit. France at its best. On Mondays there are almost no tourists around. Congrats to all the Chantilly staff.

We had wanted to visit Chantilly for several decades, just never had the right push to get us to go. Would I have appreciated it as much as a younger me? Not so sure I could have. You should have some travel stories behind you as this city of Chantilly might overwhelm. The Chateau is magnificent to see as you approach, it continues to grow as new vistas unfold in front of you as you drive. Follow the signs to park, pay the 3.50€ and enjoy your walk. You have a clear view as you cross a lawn and bridge. The entrance is the surprise, it is around the corner in front of you, and only then does the size make an impression. We knew It would be impossible to view all in one day, 2/3 today, tomorrow the horses and the other 1/3. The grand stair case, the art, library, light fixtures, china, the chapel, tapestries, furniture, should I go on? Several hundreds of photos later we have fished the Chateau. The horses are another review.

The chateau and grounds are magnificent, and the stables like nothing I have ever seen. For anyone interested in art, tucked away here in Chantilly are some of Ingres's finest works, including the Venus Anodyomene, as well as three Raphaels, and the 'Tres Riches Heures' of the Duc du Berry (although these were only available virtually). Absolutely worth a visit for anyone who likes art or horses or both!
