• Le Moulin (The Mill)

Built in 1774 by the architect Jean François Leroy for Prince Louis Joseph de Bourbon Condé, Le Hameau was built before, and in fact later inspired, Le Hameau in the Trianon of Versailles of Queen Marie Antoinette. It comprises five peasant-style hamlets, whose modest exteriors hide either luxurious or surprising interiors, depending on the case; for example, in the Salle à Manger (Dining room), the large central thatched house, a trompe l'oeil gives the impression that it is an undergrowth.

A magical site that inspired Marie Antoinette's Le Hameau in Versailles. A place where you can find a little calm in the Chantilly grounds and enjoy some famous Chantilly cream.

Le Hameau is one of the major restoration projects undertaken by the Foundation for the Safe-keeping and Development of the Chantilly Domain.
