magnificent castle, a superb park

Located at the bottom of the Oise Valley, the Gallo-Roman farm of Verneuil-en-Halatte was founded at the end of the 1st century BC. Initially composed of wooden buildings arranged around two courtyards, it gradually evolved into a stone villa with a U-shaped plan and a bathing area.

The Great Stables of the Château de Chantilly, built in the 18th century by Louis-Henri de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, are among the most majestic in the world. A masterpiece of classical architecture by Jean Aubert, they have housed the Living Museum of the Horse, dedicated to equestrian art, since 1982. This site has been owned by the Institut de France since 1886.

Nestled between the church and the village, the Étournelles vegetable garden in Breuil-le-Sec, created in 1851 by landscaper Louis-Sulpice Varé, retains the charm of its original English-style garden. Behind its high walls, eight squares bordered by boxwood are planted with vegetables, fruits, and flowers in a perfect balance between aesthetics and production. Maintained continuously for over 160 years, this rare, nourishing garden has been listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments since 2004.

For a long time, there was no other church than the collegiate church in the castle. The new parish church, whose construction date remains uncertain, was consecrated in 1327 by Jean de Marigny under the name of Saint Samson, Bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne. The chapel windows feature magnificent stained-glass windows, some dating back to the 16th century. It's a delight to gaze upon the colorful, richly colored stained-glass windows! 👍
