“Sebastian was a great guide, very friendly and personable. He stayed with us at Chantilly and provided excellent commentary, well supplementing the audioguide, which was provided to us. The included lunch was very elegant, and served in the cafe, located in what used to be a kitchen in the palace. Chantilly has some real art treasures, and the stables are amazing. The train tour of the grounds was also very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour which was a special highlight of our vacation in Paris.”

We even got to pick our salad for lunch & learnt about all of the different varieties of legumes. Émilie really treated us to a big spread at lunch, after we walked in her field to meet her horses.
