galery of painting chantilly

To experience something more distinctive, walk down with your guide to the Psyche Gallery and admire the 44 stained glass windows decorating this space. Most stained glass windows you came across probably depicted religious scenes, but not these ones! They tell the story of Psyche, the goddess of soul in Greek mythology. Let your guide bring her story alive while exploring the stunning windows. Apart from the arts, the Duke of Aumale was an avid book collector, with a total of 60.000 books coming to his possessions! You won’t see all of them today but you will certainly view his impressive Reading Room with 19.000 of books on display.

galery Batailles chantilly

Let your guide take you on a promenade in the Large Suites, and admire the 18th style gold and white decoration and motifs. Much of the interior was looted during the Revolution but thanks to the dedication of the Henri IV of Orléans to his family’s heritage, he managed to gather periodical items giving back the glory to the rooms.

Your visit cannot be complete without seeing the masterpiece of 18th century architecture, the Great Stables of Chantilly, also the largest stables in Europe. Today it houses the Horse Museum, telling the special relationship between men and horses since the beginning of our times.
