A little history
In the seventeenth century, André Le Nôtre designed a French formal garden for the Grand Condé, with a grand canal 2.5 km long. It was at Chantilly, in 1671, that Vatel organised a celebration for Louis XIV; the estate points out, however, that he did not invent Chantilly cream, whose name appeared in the eighteenth century. From 1719 to 1735, the architect Jean Aubert built the Great Stables for Louis-Henri de Bourbon, seventh Prince of Condé.
In 1830, Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, fifth son of King Louis-Philippe, inherited the estate at the age of eight. The Grand Château, destroyed during the Revolution, was rebuilt from 1875 to 1885 by the architect Honoré Daumet. Through a will made in 1884, supplemented by a deed of gift in 1886, the Duke bequeathed the whole estate to the Institut de France. The Condé Museum opened to the public on 17 April 1898: according to the estate, it holds “the second-largest collection of old master paintings in France after the Louvre”.
