About the location

The area around Chantilly has a wealth of historical and literary associations and lovely countryside. Chantilly is a smart, small town, famous for his castle and museums of paintings and horses, horse riding and  whipped cream. Some of the best race meetings in France are taking place in spring and summer. The turf is next to what must be the most noble stables in the world (often open for visits). Next to the race course is a Château, which completes the scene perfectly with its fairytale pinnacles,  domes and swans idling in the water gardens. Senlis is another  attractive, old town, on the edge of the forest near Chantilly, which has a fine, mixed Gothic cathedral and an interesting hunting museum.

Chantilly and Senlis both have weekly markets, where you can find fresh local produce, as well as a variety of shops, including supermarkets. Information about local restaurants is available in the cottage.
