The Anglo-Chinese park of Chantilly is a garden designed in 1773 by the architect Jean-François Leroy for Prince Louis-Joseph de Bourbon-Condé. It is home to the Hameau, a group of five thatched cottages which inspired Marie-Antoinette for her own Hameau at Versailles. You can run along the winding paths, admire the Chinese pagoda and the artificial lake, and taste delicious treats made from the famous Chantilly cream in the restaurant. The Anglo-Chinese park is a charming and romantic place to discover the art of living in the 18th century.
