Historic château with art, sculptures, and grand gardens
"I admired the extravagant Château de Chantilly and its manicured French gardens—the work of André Le Nôtre—then explored the château’s Musée Condé, which unexpectedly houses the largest gallery of antique paintings after the Louvre." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.

"With 115 hectares (285 acres) of land surrounding a Château in three different landscape styles—a French-style garden created by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, an Anglo-Chinese Garden created in the 18th century, and the English Garden in the 19th century—you might say this is grand in design and scale. It's definitely on the manicured side of the continuum, but suitable for long walks. The French style garden offers incredible views, thanks to mirrored waters that produce reflections of the sky, fountains, and surrounding statues." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta

"Built in 1560 by the Montmorency family and about an hour from Paris by car, Château de Chantilly sits amid roughly 8,000 hectares of forest and has been carefully restored after damage during the Revolution. I loved the peaceful grounds—waterfalls, canals, fountains, flower and Chinese-style gardens, and many outdoor sculptures—and the cultural draw of the Musée Condé, which houses over 1,000 paintings, 1,500 manuscripts, 2,500 drawings, and a 30,000-volume library. The site is open daily 10am–5pm, and admission is 9 EUR for the park or 18 EUR for park, château, and stables." - Matthew Kepnes
