Château de Chantilly

The castle is surrounded by serene ponds and lush greenery, creating a truly relaxing and picturesque atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday, and there weren’t too many tourists, so the entire guided tour went smoothly. You can download the official app and use airpods to learn about the features of each room. The art collection inside is impressive, featuring works by renowned artists like Raphael. Additionally, I highly recommend checking out the library’s collection—there are many manuscripts of significant historical value. The garden, with its fountains, is beautiful, and taking a stroll there on a pleasant day is absolutely wonderful.

I wanted to visit Chateau de Chantilly since last year when I first saw the castle. It was a place that I wanted to see for quite some time and I left kind of disappointed at the end. The tickets are with normal prices, but you have to pay separately for the audio guide, which I have not seen anywhere else in Europe. Usually you get the audio guide for free or at least this was the thing with the places that I have visited. The palace itself is very beautiful and we liked every single room, especially the library, but everything was kinda messy with the audio guide. It is just not structured good for me. We also took a walk in the gardens to see the peacocks and the kangaroos. You could definitely spend a full day in the chateau.

What an amazing castle, As a photographer I could not ask for more with stunning reflection shots. Inside wall to wall art. But I would avoid saturdays like we did as there was many people.

Very nice place and awesome rich French history. Highly recommend using the guided tour if you dont know much about french history so you know what you are looking at. Its additional when you get tickets but is well worth it. Don't miss out the original of Mona Lisa and understand why and how the art room is arranged, very meaningful. As souvenir, the soap is very nice option. Leaves a very long lasting but not too strong yet rich scent. My personal opinion and 2 cents after the visit hope you find it useful.

The palace and surrounding gardens were very picturesque, even in November. The inside not so much and basically you won't be missing much if you don't. The stables and adjoining "museum" probably of interest to those with an affinity to horses. The horse show was an agonizing 15 minutes of watching a horse be ridden in circles by a very talkative rider and a miniature pony accompanied by another talkative woman, jumping a barrier and a few other tricks. Save your money and time and go to the Fontainbleu Palace.

Magnificent Chateau that’s greatly maintained. It’s not over crowded and there’s good collection of paintings. Loved the library as well as the walk in the park. We didn’t know that we could bring food in to have a picnic there. Parking was available nearby.

Not too far from Paris you can go visit this beautiful Chateau and it’s impressive garden by Le notre. It’s a good destination for a day trip outside of Paris accessible by train 🚊 The castle is nice to visit with beautiful paintings and architecture. The garden is amazing and huge a lot of walking to discover everything ( you can rent little gold cars if you don’t like to walk). They also have an impressive Horse museum (included in the ticket, no extra charge) and the do horse show at specific times of the day 🐎. We had such a great time visiting Chantilly we also saw Kangourou (was a first for me haha) I recommend 👍🏻

Unexpectedly great. Lots of art, the chateau was fabulous, but I was blown away by the stables and Horse museum.
