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!
Since the end of the 18th century, the French-style gardens of the Château de Chambord, in France's Loire Valley, had disappeared. But months of hard work have brought these 6.5 hectares back to life. From lawns to flowerbeds and rows of trees, FRANCE 24 takes you behind the scenes of a model of perfection where there is no room for approximation.
