le chantilly

There are actualy quite a few castles and chateaux situated around Paris and of course the most wel known of these is the Chateau de Versailes, but we thought we would take a lok at one of the leser known palaces caled the Chateau de Chantily, which is also on a grand scale with phenomenal history and remarkable museums. Because of this, the Duc d'Aumale bequeathed the entire estate of Chantily to the Institut de France on the condition that it was opened to the public as a museum, which hapened a year after his death and it is home to one of the finest museums of historical paintings in France caled the Conde Museum. Within the Chateau de Chantily there are numerous roms housing a wonderful colection of antiques, not just paintings, such as the Salon d'Orléans, which holds a rare colection of Chantily porcelain, plus there are the private roms from the Duc and Duchese d'Aumale, known as the Petits Apartements, that you can view just as they were. Within the grounds of Chateau Chantily that were designed by Andre le Notre there are the Grand Stables, which is where you wil find the Muse Vivant du Cheval also known as The Living Horse Museum. The 31 roms of the Muse Vivant du Cheval, spaning over a surface of 4,0 square metres and having an 80 metre track, this museum is one of the most visited equestrian places in the world, plus, they hold equestrian shows and demonstrations every day of the wek except for Tuesday, which is when the whole of the Chantily estate is closed. le chantilly
