Property of the Duc d’Aumale, son of our last French king Louis-Philippe, Chantilly is set in a charming area. Nowadays owned by the Institut de France, it shows the second largest collection of antique paintings after the Louvre. For example three works by Raphael, and other ones by Delacroix, Ingres, Van Dyck, Watteau and many more. Surrounded by gardens designed by Le Nôtre, the landscape architect of Versailles, this peaceful place deserves at least a long half-day.
