Known as one of the most beautiful chateaus in France, there is more to see here than just a 14th-century French château. The 17th-century Le Notre gardens that surround the château are accessible on foot or by small, electric golf carts that you can rent at the entrance. The Grand Stables are just across the way and, as the largest stables in Europe, the size of a castle. The Château itself houses the largest collection of antique paintings outside of the Louvre, and the Reading Room houses 19,000 of the 60,000 books in the collection.

- Best Attractions & Activities: "Be in Chantilly in less than 25 minutes when traveling from Paris. Visit during the Art & Elegance event or the Prix de Diane in June."
- Recommended as Best Attractions & Activities Because: This is a family-friendly visit that allows for an entire day's worth of excursion. The on-premise restaurant, La Capitainerie, is where you can taste that authentic Chantilly Cream, the confection that inspired the world-renowned whipped cream.
