Auberge du Jeu de Paume (Chantilly, Île-de-France) 2 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Even in the rarefied world of France’s grand country estates, the Domaine de Chantilly, home to the 92-room Auberge du Jeu de Paume, occupies a special position. Put it this way: there are parts of Versailles that took their inspiration from this place. Just twenty-five miles from Paris, it’s an aristocratic fantasy come to life, where all the furniture seems to have a “Louis” in its name, the art collection wouldn’t be complete without its Raphaels, and the perfectly manicured grounds seem to go on forever. And as though to underscore the point that you’re essentially entering a fairy tale, you arrive via a country road that twists through the forest, the hotel’s immaculate façade revealed as you pass under the massive stone arches at the entrance. Needless to say there’s an impeccably polite doorman in a finely tailored suit waiting to see you inside." - Tablet Hotels
