Le Musée Condé, 2e collection de peintures anciennes après le Louvre, présente une magnifique collection de 800 œuvres. Poussin, Ingres, Raphaël, … des dizaines de peintres qui ont fait l’histoire de l’art.
Le Musée Condé a conservé un accrochage typique du XIXe siècle. En effet le duc D’Aumale, dernier propriétaire princier, a laissé un testament précis demandant à ce que les œuvres de Chantilly restent en place et ne soient jamais ni vendues, ni prêtées. Il espérait ainsi conserver intacte sa collection, et grâce à cette vigilance, Chantilly compte parmi les plus beaux musées de France.
The Chateau de Chantilly - Chantilly, France.
The Château de Chantilly is a historic château located in the town of Chantilly. It comprises two attached buildings -- the Grand Château, destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s, and the Petit Château which was built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé which is one of the finest art galleries in France.

Les stalles (en anglais : starting gate) sont un système pour maintenir et libérer les chevaux au moment du départ d'une course.
Ces stalles se présentent sous la forme de compartiments dans lesquels les chevaux viennent se ranger avant le départ de la course. Les boîtes sont alignées et s'ouvrent toutes en même temps. Ces stalles ne sont utilisées que pour les courses de plat.

In the forest of Vincennes, fabled for its game, a wild-boar hunt has caught a boar which is being torn apart by the boarhounds. In the background is the Chateau de Vincennes.
This picture is from the calendar section ( December ) of the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous and classic example of a medieval book of hours.
The calendar was painted some time between 1412 and 1416 and marks the pinnacle of the art of manuscript illumination.
The Tres Riches Heures was painted by the Limbourg brothers, Paul, Hermann and Jean. They came from Nimwegen in what is now Flanders but were generally referred to as Germans. By 1408 they had entered the service of Jean, Duc de Berry, one of the highest nobles in XVth-century France - his brothers were King Charles V, the Duc d'Anjou and the Duc de Bourgogne, and one of the most notable (and richest ! ) art lovers in France.

The Château de Chantilly is an 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. It is owned by the Institut de France, which received it from Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale.
A historic monument since 1988, it is open to the public. The château's art gallery, the Musée Condé, houses one of the finest collections of paintings in France. It specialises in French paintings and book illuminations of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The estate's connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (no longer in existence, now replaced by the Grand Château) was built, between 1528 and 1531, for Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II de Montmorency, it passed to his nephew, the Grand Condé, who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.
Molière's play, Les Précieuses ridicules, received its first performance here in 1659. Madame de Sévigné relates in her memoirs that when King Louis XIV of France visited there in 1671, François Vatel, the maître d'hôtel to the Grand Condé, committed suicide when he feared the fish would be served late. The collection includes important works of the cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle.

Chantilly Racecourse (In French: "Hippodrome de Chantilly") is a Thoroughbred turf racecourse for flat racing in Chantilly, Oise, France, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of the centre of the city of Paris.
Chantilly Racecourse is located in the country's main horse training area on 65 hectares next to the Chantilly Forest. A right-handed course, it was built with interlocking tracks. The main course is 2,400 metres long, with another at 2,150 metres, plus a round course adaptable from 1,400 to 2,400 metres.
The first race card at Chantilly was held on May 15, 1834 and its existing grandstand was built in 1879 by the famed architect Honoré Daumet, who also did the renovations to the nearby Château de Chantilly. The racecourse was constructed abutting the existing Great Stables (French:Grandes Écuries), built in 1719 by estate owner, Louis Henri, Duc de Bourbon, Prince of Condé. Designed by the architect Jean Aubert, the mammoth 186-meter-long stable is considered the most beautiful in the world.

Grandes Écuries at Chantilly Racecourse
In 1886, the Duc d'Aumale donated the racecourse to the Institut de France. In 1982, the Living Museum of the Horse was created as part of the stables which was opened to the public. In July 2006, the museum was acquired by the Foundation for the Safe-keeping and Development of the Chantilly Domain, presided over by the Aga Khan IV.
During the first week of June, the racecourse hosts the Prix du Jockey Club, the third of the French racing season's five Classic Races.
It was used as the venue for the racecourse scene in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, in which racehorses owned by villainous industrialist Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) competed.
n 2016 and 2017 in addition to Prix du Jockey Club, Chantilly hosted the prestigious Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, which is normally run at Longchamp. The move from Longchamp was necessitated by ongoing renovation work; the race should return to its historical home in 2018.

The Château de Chantilly is an 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. It is owned by the Institut de France, which received it from Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale.
A historic monument since 1988, it is open to the public. The château's art gallery, the Musée Condé, houses one of the finest collections of paintings in France. It specialises in French paintings and book illuminations of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The estate's connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (no longer in existence, now replaced by the Grand Château) was built, between 1528 and 1531, for Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II de Montmorency, it passed to his nephew, the Grand Condé, who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.
Molière's play, Les Précieuses ridicules, received its first performance here in 1659. Madame de Sévigné relates in her memoirs that when King Louis XIV of France visited there in 1671, François Vatel, the maître d'hôtel to the Grand Condé, committed suicide when he feared the fish would be served late. The collection includes important works of the cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle.
Français :
Le château de Chantilly est un château français situé à Chantilly, dans le département de l'Oise, en région Hauts-de-France, dans la vallée de la Nonette, affluent de l'Oise. À l'exception du « Petit Château », construit au xvie siècle par Jean Bullant, le château actuel est une reconstruction du xixe siècle sur des plans de l'architecte Honoré Daumet pour l'avant-dernier fils du roi Louis-Philippe Ier, Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale (1822-1897), héritier du domaine, qui y installe ses collections de peintures, de dessins et de livres anciens.
Il lègue l'ensemble à l'Institut de France, sous le nom de musée Condé. Le château occupe l'emplacement d'une forteresse médiévale. Les Grandes Écuries, construites de 1719 à 1740, chef-d'œuvre de l'architecte Jean Aubert, abritent aujourd'hui le musée du cheval. Les jardins sont une des plus remarquables créations d'André Le Nôtre. La ville de Chantilly se développe à l'ouest du château pendant et après la Révolution française. Le château et ses dépendances font l'objet de plusieurs protections au titre des monuments historiques durant l’année 1988 après une première protection par arrêté du 2 avril 1963, annulée.
