You will admire the collections of art, books and furniture as well as the Condé museum, the 2nd museum of art paintings after the Louvre, with its 550 paintings including Raphaël, Poussin, Watteau, Ingres, Delacroix ...
I will then take you to the French-style park and gardens of Le Nôtre, adorned with its prestigious water basins and bordered by Anglo-Chinese gardens which bear witness to more than 500 years of history.
Finally, we will end our visit with the presentation of the Great Stables of the 18th century, a veritable palace for horses and its internationally renowned equestrian shows.
