FRANCE 24 takes you behind the scenes at the magnificent Chantilly castle and gardens. Located in France's Oise region, north of Paris, they attract 500,000 visitors every year. Several hours before the doors open, the gardeners are hard at work in the beautiful grounds designed by André Le Nôtre. We also take you on a private guided tour of the castle with the chateau's curator. Finally, we tell you about the origins of Chantilly whipped cream!

It feels weird not seeing a giant tank or seeing an attack plane drop bombs I'm here from battlefield 1 btw

[@DeoAsh]

Waiting to drop those gates and blow up a ww1 tank😂 ( battlefield 1 ballroom Blitz)

[@danieladias8309]

My hometown! So weird to see it like this 😅 I’m pretty sure I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world 🥰

[@ChachouLP]

As a Parisian I'll say the same thing :)

280 hectares of garden?! the garden alone is a small city in island nations.

[@gu3sswh075]

MrCJNice this is almost 50% bigger than Monaco

[@victoremmanuell_ptbr1902]

No doubt that France has one of the most beautiful palaces and chateaux in the world. A country that worthwhile visiting at least one day in your life....

CHANTILLY IS GOREGOUS💖😇🌴🍀🎁🎶BLESSINGS💖

[@georgesherrill3371]

LaNotre worked in the 17th century, not the 19th century. The style of architecture is Baroque and NOT classical! So many of these videos dealing with historical places have truly egregious errors throughout. Learn some history of the places you cover and maybe you won’t continue to embarrass yourself nor annoy the rest of us.

[@mikan1546]

Also, the story about the invention of Chantilly cream has little basis in actual history. They are incredibly sloppy mistakes for a professional show to make. The biggest problem with productions like this is not that they are embarrassing or annoying, but that they misinform the vast majority of people. Most people will not be intimately familiar with the history of very specific places or events, and so they will take the word of these programs as fact because they seem authoritative. I had a friend who adamantly credited aliens with the construction of ancient wonders because of the "History" channel!

[@davidhurtado3527]

There is a bit of an inaccuracy. When the narrator says “These French style gardens were designed at the end of the 19th century for the Prince de Conde by the famous landscape gardener Andre Le Notre.” This statement is wrong. Andre Le Notre live and designed gardens for Vaux Le Vicomte, Versailles and Chantilly to name just a few in the 17th century. Andre Le Notre was born in 1613 and died in 1700. The dates of the 19th century are 1800 to 1899.

[@cher128bx]

Good bit of sleuthing! Do you know who the garden's designer was then?

[@iwilitu6591]

​@@cher128bxAndré Le Nôtre did them but during the 17th, not the 19th century

[@jacksonvanmatre]

Thank you! I just commented this very thing without noticing your comment. I said, "am I hearing this wrong or am I going crazy?"

[@wholeNwon]

Well, perhaps from the first second of 1801 through the last second of 1900.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

I picked that one up too!

[@Beevreeter]

Very frustrating video - hardly showed us anything!

[@djorksolo8544]

Go to visit it in real, much better than any videos.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

Don't be lazy! Tons of videos and documentaries about Chantilly.

[@Beevreeter]

@@anacletwilliams8315 What's it got to do with being lazy?? I'm referring to THIS video.

[@georgesherrill3371]

Ken Hart. True! And what was shown had errors in the information given.

Heavenly!!! Loads of work to keep this in shape

[@georgegeorge9190]

You are pronouncing it wrong. It's not san-ti-li but san-ti-yi (Chantilly). Thanks.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

I visited there in 1980. Wonderful place.

[@Mrrossj01]

19th C? LeNotre? LouisXIV? Please correct.

[@kaloarepo288]

Although there are many drop dead gorgeous chateaux and palaces in France like Vaux le Vicomte, i think Chantilly is not one of them -I can only judge by videos and not personal inspection but this place looks very sterile and out-of-proportion with the gardens almost totally devoid of charm -distances too great.Almost a total fail -perhaps due to the 19th century restorations.

[@thenumberoneyou4725]

If you've never been to a place how on earth can you judge? Chantilly is wonderful and serene and not at all like what your comment suggests.

[@kaloarepo288]

@@thenumberoneyou4725 You are right and if I visited I would probably like it.However, I read that a prominent French writer visited the place and was not impressed.This was soon after the 19th/20th century restorations so perhaps I was influenced by that person's report.Unfortunately I can't remember the guy's name..

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Perhaps visit the place before commenting.
