The park of the Domaine de Chantilly

The park of the Domaine de Chantilly: 3 gardens, 3 atmospheres

The park covers 115 hectares. It is made up of 3 very different gardens, built according to the fashions of each era: the French garden designed by André Le Nôtre in the seventeenth century, the Anglo-Chinese garden at the end of the eighteenth century and the English garden in the nineteenth century.

• a French garden designed by Le Nôtre : it includes vast mirrors of water reflecting the sky, numerous water jets and fountains as well as an exceptional set of statues. Of all the gardens created by André Le Nôtre, Chantilly was his favourite
• an Anglo-Chinese garden : it houses the Hamlet composed of five rustic-looking houses, and served as a model for Marie-Antoinette at the Petit Trianon of the Palace of Versailles. It is in this garden that you will find “Le Hameau”, a traditional restaurant that offers delicacies based on Chantilly cream
• An English garden : it is the romantic garden par excellence, with a wild side, whose objective is to highlight nature and the seasons
• a playground, a maze and the kangaroo enclosure
