Potager des Princes, Chantilly

At the heart of Chantilly, the Potager des Princes is a world composed of new life and enchantment, where flowers push up in hordes and water tumbles down its fall, where rabbits go racing and a stage surrounded by greenery hosts performances especially for children. This beautifully landscaped garden was originally created in 1682, and re-imagined in 1999 to become today's verdant and educational recreation area. Park is open evenings until 7p (entry times restricted to those below) and open only by appointment on Tuesdays.
