  • The horse shows are the highlight, along with the stables where they are kept. The museum itself if of modest interest for the non-specialist

  • A must visit for the history of Chantilly. I found it a little less interesting than most of my friends who are Equestrians, but all the same, I believe they had a lot more vested interest in it...

  • The horse show is terrible. 1st reason is the show is in French that you don’t understand anything, second thing is you dont see anything interesting. Horses dont jump or I dont know, they dont do anything interesting. They are just walking. You can see walkers horses anywhere in a rural area. No need to pay for this show.
  • If you don’t speak France I suggest you just skip the show (about 40mins) and pay you time in the museum or in the castle.
