Start your royal journey from the Gare du Nord in Paris aboard a comfortable train, admiring the picturesque landscape. Once you arrive at the Château of Chantilly, you can breeze past the queues with your skip-the-line tickets. The Château, home to the Duke of Aumale, son of King Louis-Philippe, is a treasure trove of rare and precious items. Did you know the Duke was an avid art collector and his collection is considered second only to the Louvre in France? As you traverse the princely apartments with your multilingual audio guide, you'll gain insights into the Duke's life, marveling at the grandeur of his private collection of paintings, furniture, books, and manuscripts.
Next, prepare to be awed by the majestic Great Stables, a hallmark of 18th-century architecture. These stables, designed to house 240 horses, were the setting for extravagant receptions, where princes and kings were guests. Today, the Great Stables are home to the Museum of the Horse, a favorite among visitors. Adding to the royal atmosphere is a beautiful fountain, making the Dome a perfect place for festivities, much like in the 18th century. As you head back to Paris, with a newfound appreciation for royal art, you'll understand why this experience is a must for history and horse lovers alike.
