Photographer’s Note

Beside the Large Stables that I presented to you yesterday one finds the superb castle of Chantilly. Chantilly was initially an old fortress medieval, confined of seven turns and surrounded by water ditches, built on a marshy ground of the valley of the Little nun, who controlled the road of Paris with Senlis. The current castle is a rebuilding of the XIXe century on plans of the architect Honore Daumet for the last wire of king Louis-Philippe Ier, Henri of Orleans, duke of Aumale (1822-1897), heir to the field of Chantilly, which installed there its collections of paintings, drawings and old books. It bequeathed the unit to the Institute of France, under the name of Condé museum.
