Chantilly

Chantilly is a town positioned on the northern edge of Paris and its metropolis, the site of one of the most famous and beautiful French château.

Get in

By car

Take the A1 Autoroute du Nord (Paris - Lille motorway) - northwards from Paris, take the Chantilly exit, southwards from Lille, take the Survilliers exit. Alternatively, drivers can take the RN 16 or RN 17 trunk roads. Chantilly is usually less than one hour's drive from Paris (depending on traffic).

By train

  • from the Gare du Nord in Paris - SNCF Grandes Lignes (27 minutes)
  • from Châtelet les Halles - RER Line D (45 minutes)

To access the château from Chantilly station, you can take a taxi from the station (€6), or catch the Cariane bus for Senlis (free in Chantilly).

To walk from from the terminal (at the head of the SNCF lines), get off at the "Chantilly, Eglise Notre Dame" stop and walk to the Château from the terminal, around 35 minutes.
