4.5 based on 2 reviews
Le Domaine de Chantilly s'etend sur 7 800 hectares au sein de l'une des plus grandes forets des environs de Paris. Il est compose du chateau et de son musee Conde, du parc et de ses jardins, des grandes ecuries et de leur musee du cheval. Constitue depuis le Moyen-Age par les differents proprietaires (Anne de Montmorency, les Bourbon-Conde dont le Grand Conde, cousin de Louis XIV, Henri d'Orleans, duc d'Aumale), cet ensemble represente donc un patrimoine aux facettes multiples et le plus grand exemple en France d'un domaine princier. Le chateau abrite le Musee Conde, lequel est constitue des appartements princiers, d'une collection exceptionnelle de peintures - plus de 800 chefs d'oeuvres d'artistes tels que Botticelli, Raphael, Poussin, Delacroix - qui en fait le premier musee de peintures anciennes (avant 1850) en France apres le musee du Louvre et d'une bibliotheque et d'archives qui conservent plus de 13 000 ouvrages dont le manuscrit le plus precieux au monde : "Les Tres Riches Heures du duc de Berry". Le parc offre quant a lui un Panorama grandiose de l'art du jardin occidental : jardin a la francaise dessine par Le Notre au XVIIe siecle, le Hameau qui inspira Marie-Antoinette, le jardin anglo-chinois du XVIIIe siecle, et le jardin anglais du XIXe siecle.

The beauty of this place cannot be described. Truly inspirational and majestic, beautiful layout, fantastic luscious Gardens and a small kangourou farm! Also, a museum with horses and a series of shows with the horses demonstrating their grace and beauty. A must see if you have time and days to visit other places outside Paris..Highly recommended as it will travel you to another era and this place is really a feast for the eyes!

La Reine Blanche is a small chateau which is used as a event function venue now. It sits on the edge of les Etangs. There is a nice walking path completely around. Lots of bird life including swans and egrets. Fishing also but you must have a fishing license. A very natural, peaceful place.

We visited Le Cachot as a groupfor a social evening while working in Senlis. The shop is a must for anyone interested in history and a visit in the cellar is highly recomended. We had a lovely dinner there with great food and an interesting tale of the historical finds that have been done in the area.
The Owner was very polite and knowledgeble, sadly he only speaks French so at least one person in the group shold speak french

Nous avons passé un très bon moment entre amis. La game master nous a aidé au bon moment.
Seule déception et incohérence : nous n'avons pas été autorisé à prendre une photo de notre groupe à l'exterieur des salles de jeu mais la game master souhaitait en prendre une pour la publier sur Facebook !!!!
6. Royaumont Abbey
Overall Ratings
4 based on 239 reviews
Royaumont Abbey was founded in 1228 by Louis IX, the future Saint Louis, with the support of his mother, Blanche of Castile. Richly endowed by the king, who enjoyed spending time there, the Abbey achieved great renown in the 13th century. In the 1930s, Henry Goüin decided to open Royaumont to struggling artists and intellectuals. The project was made permanent 26 years later, in 1964, with the establishment of a foundation, the Fondation Royaumont (Goüin-Lang) pour le Progrès des Sciences de l'Homme. Thus in the course of the 20th century, having previously served as a monastery, a textile factory, a village and a noviciat, the Abbey was transformed into an important venue for gatherings of several generations of French and foreign intellectuals working in the humanities and music, and eventually became an internationally renowned centre of artistic research, training and production.

I stayed for two days for a work-related meeting. From beginning to end the experience was full of fun and discovery. Hosts and staff were consummate professionals attending to our needs with utmost attention and discretion.
Food and catering quality and standard was excellent. Not all staff were comfortable in English language, but we found a way to understand each other which added to the fun.
i had the pleasure of staying in the main 'palace', where the rooms were beautifully appointed.
Don't expect TV and room service. This place is all about coming together and connecting with people.
Definitely recommended for professional groups and teams. I understand also there are many cultural events held on the grounds too.

C'est une belle bâtisse qui abrite cet office de tourisme. On y accède facilement; il se trouve juste en face de la petite gare de Saint-Leu d'Esserent; le parking est spacieux. Le personnel d'accueil vous renseigne avec le sourire et avec le souci de vous orienter le mieux possible en fonction de vos besoins. C'est grâce aux sculptures présentes à l'Office que j'ai découvert la maison de la pierre de Saint-Maximin et son atelier de sculpture ouvert à tous. Je vous le conseil, c'est fabuleux !
