Chateau de Chantilly

Chantilly is a small town less than an hours drive to the north of Paris. I’ve always wanted to visit as it sounded like a cute little town to visit and it is.

The Chateau de Chantilly is stunning, as are the gardens which include both formal French gardens and the ‘wild’ English garden. April is obviously not the best time to visit as few of the trees and flowers were in bloom so it would be better to visit in May or later in the year.

I love French chateaux and definitely recommend visiting Chantilly if you are looking to do a day trip from Paris.
