The Hamlet: It is said that it inspired the Hameau de La Reine in the gardens of the Petit Trianon in Versailles. We are in 1774, in Chantilly: the Prince de Condé built in the Anglo-Chinese garden - the latest fashion at the time - a set of 7 cottages with a rustic look. Apparent simplicity and interior refinement testify to the luxurious pink hangings and the abundance of plants on the engravings of the time.

All high society came in this deliciously rural setting. After a long and delicate restoration in 2008, the Hamlet has regained its original appearance, purified of all the changes made over the centuries.
Today, the five remaining houses are the place of country snacks for visitors charmed by so much nature and authenticity at some 800 meters from the Château de Chantilly.
