Unspoilt treasures of a 19th-century prince
Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille is an opportunity to enjoy not only the event itself, but also the Château de Chantilly, one of the jewels of France's heritage. It is the work of a man with an exceptional destiny: Henri d'Orléans, Duc d'Aumale, son of the last French king, Louis-Philippe. This prince, considered to be the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the setting for his countless masterpieces and precious manuscripts.

The second largest collection of ancient paintings after the Louvre
In accordance with the wishes of the Duc d'Aumale, the presentation of the works has remained unchanged since the 19th century, offering a unique opportunity to travel back in time and discover a museography typical of that period.
Nearly 1,500 manuscripts are kept in the cabinet des livres, making it the second largest library in France after the BnF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France) for illuminated manuscripts.

An exceptional panorama of the art of the Western garden
Covering an area of 115 hectares, the grounds of Château de Chantilly are the result of a number of creations in keeping with the fashion of each period: the French garden designed by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, the Anglo-Chinese garden at the end of the 18th century and the English garden in the 19th century.
The biggest stables in Europe
An 18th-century architectural masterpiece, the Grandes Écuries are a veritable palace for horses. The building houses the Horse Museum, which presents the relationship between man and horse since the dawn of civilisation. All year round, the Grandes Écuries offer equestrian shows devoted to the art of Haute-Ecole dressage.
