I had heard about Chantilly a\u00a0couple of years ago and it has been on my list ever since. It is considered the horse capital of France, located 40 kilometers from Paris. This charming town is full of history, castles with large extensions of nature, and idyllic parks. \u00a0I recently spent\u00a048 hours in Chantilly, France with my partner. All about our experience…<\/p>\n

The Scene<\/h2>\n

We say 48 hours in Chantilly is always a good idea. Even a better idea is to stay at Auberge du Jeu de Paume,<\/u><\/a>\u00a0five-star Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux property on the Domaine de Chantilly. It was established in 2012, capturing the heritage of the region. It’s the perfect place for those who truly appreciate culture, horse riding, fine dining, and the wonders of nature.<\/p>\n

The property is located in the heart of the Chantilly, just steps away from Ch\u00e2teau de\u00a0Chantilly<\/em>, the Great Stables, and the Hippodrome. The perfect place to either start or end your trip to France or for a weekend escape if you’re in Europe. The moment we arrived at the valet parking of the hotel, we were taken away by the beauty and elegance of this space.<\/p>\n

The Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Auberge du Jeu de Paume, built around a large patio, cultivates a personal, down-to-earth form of hospitality. The majority of the rooms face the gardens. They all are distinctly capacious, ranging from 28m\u00b2 for the Classic Room to 200m\u00b2 for the Arc de Triomphe Presidential Suite, which overlooks Chantilly with the lofty character of a private apartment.<\/p>\n

Some suites extend beyond these ample dimensions, opening onto expansive terraces with views over the grounds. Simply magical. Just after our check-in, we were accompanied to our suite by a very kind member of the front desk who provided us with local insight.<\/p>\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Auberge du Jeu de Paume carries on this grand culinary tradition by offering to their guests two restaurants:<\/p>\n

La Table du Conn\u00e9table<\/strong><\/a>, One Michelin Star restaurant lead by Executive Chef Julien Lucas and inspired by local terroir with a capacity of 40 guests. We had the opportunity to meet Chef Lucas and talk about what makes his cuisine successful, what inspires him, and lastly, some insider tips on Chantilly. We’ll be sharing that post soon!<\/p>\n

Le Jardin d\u2019Hiver<\/a><\/strong>: this stylish and sophisticated bistro is serving French cuisine. The elegant contemporary atmosphere is illuminated by light from the patio, warming the d\u00e9cor of rough wood and patterned silk. A must dine when spending 48 hours in Chantilly France.<\/p>\n

The tables are arranged along a gallery inspired by the Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9\u2019s Grande Singerie, decorated with 18th- century porcelain and wooden horses from a 19th-century carousel.<\/p>\n

We ordered cocktails with champagne and several plates from the menu. Every dish we sampled was delicious. We went along with the Ma\u00eetre wine\/food pairing suggestions and were happy to trust him as we love coming to France and discover a new \u2018gem\u2019.<\/p>\n
