Another place you simply have to see in the town of Chantilly France is the hippodrome, which hosts famous races and competitions all year round including the five star international show jumping competition, and the men’s and women’s Jockey Club prize. It is not for nothing that the town of Chantilly is referred to as the ‘horse capital’, and you can see for yourself why during a weekend or an extended stay at Chantilly.

Before your weekend at the chateau is over, head into the heart of the Chantilly forest and take on the 18- hole l’International Club du Lys or the Golf de Chantilly. These golf courses are well-known throughout Europe for the high quality of the grounds and their enchanting, leafy setting.
