Château de Chantilly

About

The gardens at Château de Chantilly are something truly spectacular. With a ticket to the gardens, you can explore three unique areas, including an Anglo-Chinese garden that served as inspiration for Marie Antoinette's hamlet at Versailles. After you've walked by the rustic houses that exist in simpatico with the plants in the Chinese garden, take a leisurely stroll through your next stop – the English garden. Perfect for a romantic walk, you can stop at the Temple of Venus, breathe in the beauty of nature at the Beauvais Waterfall, and entrench yourself in the peace that highlights the wilderness of nature. Perhaps the most stunning elements at the Château are the French-style flower beds. Designed by André Le Nôtre, who also worked on the gardens at Versailles, reminisced that this was his proudest achievement. Immaculately manicured lawns stand beside the mirror-like grand canal, while statues and water features entertain the eye and show order amongst wilderness.
