Whipped cream is called Crème de Chantilly in French because, according to a legend, it was invented by a famous 17th century chef who worked here. The castle and the beautiful gardens are well worth a visit, if only for the art collection of the Duke of Orléans, once the owner of the castle. It is nothing less than the largest collection of ancient art in France after the Louvre… The duke was also a horse lover. Here you will find the largest and most magnificent stables of Europe, a horse museum and you can even attend dressage demonstrations.
