The Château de Chantilly is a historic French château located in the town of Chantilly, Oise, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) north 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. This was one of the last images I was able to capture of the French Chateau's prior to MK and I moving back to the states. We will miss living in Europe, but will be back as often as we can.

The Chateau de Chantilly is one of the finest jewels in the crown of France's cultural heritage. It is also the work of a man with an extraordinary destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), fifth son of Queen Marie-Amélie and King Louis-Philippe, the last King of France. Thanks to the precautions taken by the Duke of Aumale in his will, Chantilly remains, more than a century later, a showcase of preserved works where the charm of the 19th century continues to reign.

The Château de Chantilly is one of the finest jewels in the crown of France’s cultural heritage. It is the work of a man with an extraordinary destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale, son of the last King of France, Louis-Philippe. This prince, who is considered to be the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the showcase for his countless masterpieces and precious manuscripts. The Château survived down through the centuries and remains as it was when the Duke of Aumale gave it as a gift it to the Institut de France in 1886, making it the perfect place to take a journey back in time to the heart of a princely residence. In tribute to his illustrious predecessors, the Princes of Condé, the Duke of Aumale called the series of rooms housing his collection the “Condé Museum”.
Situato a circa 50 km a nord di Parigi, il Castello di Chantilly è un castello storico diviso in due parti: il "piccolo castello", costruito intorno al 1560 da Anne de Montmorency, e il "grande castello", che fu distrutto durante la Rivoluzione francese e ricostruito nel 1870.
La galleria d'arte del castello, il Museo Condé, ospita una delle migliori collezioni pittoriche di Francia. È specializzata in dipinti e stampe francesi del XV e XVI secolo.
La biblioteca del "piccolo castello" contiene oltre 1500 manoscritti e 17 500 volumi a stampa, che costituiscono la collezione di oltre 700 incunaboli e circa 300 manoscritti medievali.
Il principale giardino formale francese, che comprende grandi aiuole e giochi d'acqua, è stato progettato principalmente da André Le Nôtre per il Grand Condé.
La proprietà si affaccia sull'Ippodromo di Chantilly e sulle "Grandes Écuries" (grandi scuderie), dove si trova il Museo del Cavallo.
