A road snakes through a forest; two majestic lions stand guard on either side. Suddenly, we catch a glimpse of the Domaine de Chantilly, nestled in lush green surroundings.

To the right of the Château, a little further on on the left, stand the 18th-century Great Stables, then Saint Denis Gate. These sumptuous surroundings are imbued with the history of France, providing a unique setting for the Auberge du Jeu de Paume, Relais & Châteaux.

The façade is simple and elegant, with no fussy embellishments. Luxury pervades its 92 rooms and suites, each of which offers the utmost in comfort. This same luxury is echoed in the two restaurants, the lounges and the Spa.

This is a place where luxury and tradition meet in timeless perfection, where premium materials and expertise come together to create elegance and sophistication – a place that exemplifies the inimitable French art de vivre.
