Chantilly is a French commune in the Oise department in the region of Hauts-de-France . It is located in the middle of the Chantilly forest , in the Nonette Valley , 38 kilometers north of Paris . The community has 10,863 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), around 37,000 people live in the agglomeration ( Unité urbaine ).

Chantilly is world famous for its castle , which houses the Musée Condé with an important art collection, and as the French center for horse breeding . The Prix ​​du Jockey Club and Prix ​​de Diane horse races are held regularly on his racecourse .

The history of the city is closely linked to the Montmorency and Condé families , around whose castle and its branches the city and several villages developed. In 1692 the villages around the castle became a parish. A city center only emerged in the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city was a center of porcelain and lace production , afterwards a popular summer retreat for the aristocracy and for artists as well as a strong English community that ran horse breeding. Today Chantilly belongs to the greater Paris area. There are no industrial companies to speak of in Chantilly; 40% of its residents work in the capital. The visitors who come to Chantilly for the castle and its park, the horse museum and the forest make the city one of the most important tourist centers north of Paris.

The urban area of ​​Chantilly is relatively young: urban development only began 250 years ago. The oldest part is on both sides of the rue du Connétable, which runs in an east-west direction . The area was parceled out in 1727 and the Maisons des officiers (now Rue du Connétable No. 25 to 67) were established. Before the French Revolution , the other properties in the main street, at the end of which is the Hospice Condé , were sold. After 1799, the urban area expanded northwards and displaced parts of the park. The street names have been retained and indicate which parts of the park they originally connected: Rue des Potagers (Garden Street ), Rue de la Faisanderie (Fasaneriestraße), Rue des Cascades (Cascade Street) . The numbers of these streets start at the castle and not at Place Omer Vallon like the other streets. The urban area then consisted of town houses and villas surrounded by gardens. There you can still find traces of stables that were built at the beginning of the 19th century, when horse breeding began.

The Rue du Connétable is the real center of the city. The castle is at its eastern end . The palace gardens spread out to the east and north of the road. To the south of the area around the Rue du Connétable are the Great Meadows (la Pelouse) with the racecourse. At its western end are the Place Omer Vallon , the Hospice de Condé and the Avenue du maréchal Joffre .

The creation of the area around avenue du maréchal Joffre is linked to the construction of rue de Paris and the railway line; the train station is on the western edge of this quarter. Residential houses from the 19th and 20th centuries dominate there; this area was later densified by multi-storey residential complexes.

Three new quarters later developed around the old town center of Chantilly:

• Bois Saint-Denis in the south of the city, between the rue de Paris and the railway, was created through the construction of horse stables, which were built further away from the city center due to lack of space. Duc d'Aumale sold the plots of land that were previously wooded in 1890. They originally belonged to the territory of the neighboring municipality of Gouvieux , but were annexed in 1928 to Chantilly. The Bois Saint-Denis originally consisted almost entirely of tiled horse stables and the houses of the coaches, jockeys and stable boys and was almost exclusively used for horse breeding. In the 1960s, a large part of the stables began to be demolished and houses to be built in their place. Today the building code protects the horse breeding heritage.
• The Quartier de Verdun is located between the railway and the forest in the place where there used to be a train station for visitors to the horse races. The station was closed around 1950 and the area was used for housing. Originally the apartments were reserved for the railway workers and today they are partly owned by the SNCF social housing agency . The city's two public high schools are in the immediate vicinity of the Quartier de Verdun .
• The northern districts are on either side of the Creil road along the Nonette River . There are mainly social housing (e.g. in the Lefébure district ) and single and multi-family houses that were built in the 1960s and 1970s. These quarters are equipped with public facilities and accommodate schools, churches, Collège , sports grounds, stadium and sports center.

Between the northern quarters and the city center there is a green zone, the Grand Canal , the Canal Saint-Jean and in between the Canardière with numerous allotments. The few buildings in this area date from the early days of industrialization. These include the work of François Richard-Lenoir and the old Guilleminot works with their extensions.

In contrast to some neighboring communities, the cityscape is not under any protection. There is, however, a local land use plan . 69% of the municipality is occupied by forest and the racecourse. Only 20-25% of the municipal area can be used for building purposes; there are structural restrictions due to the proximity of architectural monuments .

Bodies of water and water supply

The south of the municipality is touched by the Thève River , which has a length of 33 km and is a tributary of the Oise . In its valley are the Étangs de Commelles : these artificial lakes were dug in the 13th century by the monks of the Chaalis monastery to create fish ponds.

The city of Chantilly is crossed by the Nonette , which also belongs to the catchment area of ​​the Oise. It has a length of 41 km and is completely canalized in the municipality. The construction of the castle gardens by André Le Nôtre made it necessary to change the course of the river from 1663. The river bed was moved a few hundred meters to the north in order to build the Grand Canal , which runs in front of the castle and is 2.5 km long. The Canal Saint-Jean , which is 800 m long and bears the name of an old chapel that was built in the 16th century and was demolished in the course of the creation of the park, was created in the original river bed . The Canardière , the area under today's viaduct, was drained at the same time and the river here completely canalized. The Canal de la Machine goes off at right angles from the other two canals and is around 300 m long. It leads the water to the Pavillon de Manse , which once supplied the basins and cascades of the now defunct western part of the park with water and which led the water into a reservoir located in the Great Meadows . Part of this reservoir still exists today, it is located near the racecourse but is no longer filled with water. These systems later also supplied some of the factories along the river with water. The part of the gardens that still exists today was irrigated by a different system fed by an aqueduct that brought in water from the Senlis area.

In the 18th century a mineral spring was discovered in the middle of the valley and a pavilion was built between 1725 and 1778, which allowed a stop to drink the water. There was also a source of iron-containing water called Eau de Chantilly , which was carbonated and bottled from 1882 until the beginning of the 20th century. The first system for supplying drinking water to the population was also set up in the 18th century . In 1823, the last Prince of Condé had 18 wells built for the population. In 1895 the wells were shut down and replaced by a waterworks located in the neighboring municipality of Lamorlaye . This waterworks is fed by three springs located in Chantilly, Lamorlaye and Boran-sur-Oise . After its treatment, the water is distributed using two water towers located on Mont de Pô in Gouvieux . This network has been operated since 1928 by the private company Lyonnaise des eaux on behalf of the Syndicat intercommunal pour l'amélioration des réseaux d'eau potable (Siparep) . In 2009 the water price averaged € 3.25 per cubic meter.

A first sewer system was built in 1878, but was initially limited to the area around Rue d'Aumale , the Hospice Condé and what is now the Avenue du Maréchal Joffre . It was expanded in 1910, which the French state financed from taxes on horse racing. A sewage treatment plant was built in the Canardière in 1969 and moved to Gouvieux in 2006. The Chantilly sewage system has a length of 22 km and is operated by the Syndicat intercommunal pour le traitement des eaux de la vallée de la Nonette (SICTEUV) , which includes the municipalities of Apremont , Avilly-Saint-Léonard , Chantilly, Gouvieux and Vineuil-Saint -Firmin belong.

traffic

The Chantilly-Gouvieux station

Chantilly is cut from south to north by the former national road 16 , an old imperial road which led from Pierrefitte-sur-Seine to Dunkerque via Amiens. It now bears the number Départementale 1016 . The A1 and A16 motorways are close to Chantilly . Heavy traffic is not prohibited on national road 16, but signs at the town entrances point the trucks to the motorways. The D924 ^A leads to National Road 17 and La Chapelle-en-Serval , while the D924 connects Chantilly to Senlis . The latter two roads are closed to heavy traffic, but they also provide a connection to the A1 motorway. The speed on the D924 ^{A is} consistently limited to 70 km / h because it mostly leads through wooded areas with frequent game passes.

The Chantilly-Gouvieux station , which was commissioned in 1859, is part of the TER Picardie -Netzes the SNCF . It is served by lines 12 ( Paris-Nord - Compiègne - Saint-Quentin - Busigny ), 22 ( Paris-Nord - Creil - Amiens ) and 23 ( Paris-Nord - Creil ). Travel time to Paris North Station is 22 minutes and to Creil is 7 minutes. The station is also served by the RER D line of the Paris suburbs. In 2006 there were 920,000 passengers between Chantilly and Paris North Station.

Regular buses of the Réseau des cars interurbains de l'Oise connect Chantilly with Creil (LR04), Saint-Leu-d'Esserent (LR 05), Boran-sur-Oise (LR 09), Orry-la-Ville (LR 14) and Senlis (LR 15). Under the name Desserte urbaine cantilienne , the municipality operates a city bus line that runs from the Lefébure district to the Bois-Saint-Denis district , passing the train station. It is free to use.

In the immediate vicinity of Chantilly, an airfield called Aérodrome de la Vidamée-Chantilly was opened in 1910 , which served as an air force base during the First World War . It was later shut down. Chantilly is located 30 km from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and 54 km from Paris-Beauvais Airport. However, there is no direct public connection to these two airports.

Two long-distance hiking trails cross the municipality of Chantilly . The GR 11 leads (Great Paris round trip) from Senlis Coming through the castle grounds , under the Porte Saint-Denis , in the direction of the Canal Saint-Jean , along the same up through the quarter chantant Quartier du Coq and continue towards Saint- Maximin . The GR 12 Amsterdam-Paris also comes from Senlis, crosses the south of the municipality, the Chantilly forest , in the direction of the Étangs de Commelles and on to the neighboring municipality of Coye-la-Forêt . The GR 1 (small Paris circular hiking trail) touches the municipality on the Étangs de Commelles. In the Chantilly forest there are a number of paths which are reserved for riding horses between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. and are closed to pedestrians. In June 2008, a cycle path network was inaugurated in Chantilly and its neighboring municipalities: in the municipality of Chantilly there are four cycle paths that allow you to reach Gouvieux , Vineuil-Saint-Firmin and Avilly-Saint-Léonard by bike.

population

Population development

The population of Chantilly declined during the French Revolution , shortly afterwards, around 1800, but the establishment of factories led to a sharp increase. However, around 1820 several of the factories were closed, which resulted in a slight decrease in the population. In the second half of the 19th century, however, the number of inhabitants doubled. This was due to the construction of the railway, the development of tourism, equestrian sports and the growing importance of Chantilly as a summer resort. After stagnation in the first half of the 20th century, numerous residential buildings were built after the Second World War, a new population working in Paris moved in and the population rose to over 10,000. From the late 1970s, housing and building land became scarce, which also led to a sharp slowdown in population growth.

Living situation

Housing estate in the de Verdun district

In 2006 Chantilly had 5,638 units, 229 more than in 1999. 92.4% of the units are used as main residences; 82.8% are apartments. In contrast, only 31% of all residential units in the Oise department are apartments. The apartments in Chantilly have an average of 3.5 rooms, they are smaller than in the rest of the department (4.2 rooms). 53.7% of households in Chantilly are tenants (compared to 64% in the Oise) and 39.9% are owners (33% in the Oise).

There are 1,269 public housing in Chantilly , which is 23% of the main residences. Chantilly thus fulfills the norms required by the Loi relative à la solidarité et au renouvellement urbains law.

history

Early history and the Middle Ages

No traces of human settlement from prehistory or the Iron Age have been found in the municipality of Chantilly . Remains of tombs from Roman times have been excavated near the Nonette river , as well as traces of Roman roads . Graves from the Merovingian period, dated to the 7th century, were discovered near the Potager des Princes in the 17th and 19th centuries.

The first written mention of a terra cantiliaci is found in an agreement between Guy IV. De Senlis and the prior of Saint-Leu-d'Esserent from the year 1223. Guy IV. Of Senlis, grand cupbearer of France , is the founder of the ruling family of Chantilly. Chantilly was then a hill in a swampy area that bordered the dioceses of Beauvais and Senlis . The existence of a permanent house is documented for 1227 . The Chantilly Forest is mentioned for the first time in 1282 : a Parlement decree speaks of in tota foresta chantiliaco (throughout the Chantilly Forest). The first written mention of the castle comes from the year 1358 in connection with its destruction in the course of the Jacquerie peasant uprising and its reconstruction by Pierre d'Orgemont , which was finished in 1394. During the Hundred Years War, the Anglo-Burgundian troops besieged the castle in 1421. Mistress Jacqueline de Paynel , widow of Pierre II. D'Orgemont , who died in the Battle of Azincourt , and Jean de Fayel , had to leave the fortress. This saved the lives of all the residents of the castle, but the surrounding villages were completely destroyed.

At the beginning of the 16th century the castle was surrounded by the following hamlets:

• Grandes Fontaines , below today's Rue des Fontaines
• Petites Fontaines , also known as Normandy , on the underside of what is now Quai de la Canardière and Rue de la Machine
• Aigles , located on the site of today's racecourse, and which owes its name to the farmer who worked it at the end of the Middle Ages. The place completely disappeared after the Huguenot Wars .
• Quinquempoix, the largest of the hamlets and also the one closest to the castle.

From this time on, the castle was expanded in Quinquempoix. It housed a chapel, which is documented for 1219, was dedicated to St. Germanus and disappeared in the 17th century in the course of the expansion of the palace gardens. Several buildings were erected in Quinquempoix to house the prince's officials, such as the Hôtel de Beauvais , built in 1539 for the hunting guide of Connétable Anne de Montmorency , or the Hôtel de Quinquempoix , built around 1553 for the squire des Connétable was built.

In 1515, a papal bull gave Guillaume de Montmorency the right to hold mass and to distribute all the sacraments in the chapel of the castle. This was one of the first signs of the autonomy of the castle and its residents in relation to the surrounding parishes.

Creation of an independent parish

In 1673, at the instigation of the Grand Condé, a new street was built, today's Rue du Connétable . The forerunner of a city center was built on the lands on both sides of the street, where hostels, craftsmen's workshops and dwellings were located. At that time, however, this settlement was still divided between the parishes of Gouvieux ( Diocese of Beauvais ) and Saint-Léonard ( Diocese of Senlis ).

The Grand Condé determined in his will that a parish church should be built not far from his castle. In 1692 this legacy was fulfilled when Henri III. Jules de Bourbon was called to build the Church of Notre-Dame and created a parish that was subordinate to the Bishop of Senlis. Chantilly thus became autonomous. His grandson Louis IV. Henri de Bourbon had the first plan drawn up for a city and thus became its actual founder. He determined a city center to develop around the street of Gouvieux, which was now called Grande Rue . After the construction of the stud farm had started in 1721, the prince designated the area next to the stud farm on the south side of the road as today's Maisons des officiers in 1727 . He sold plots of land to his officials on the condition that they obey the architectural rules defined by Jean Aubert , the stud's architect. At the end of the Grande Rue , the Hospice de la Charité was established in 1723 .

In the second half of the 18th century, on the initiative of the princes, numerous commercial enterprises emerged. The production of lace , which began at the end of the 17th century, was expanded. In 1726 a porcelain factory was established, which moved to today's Rue de la Machine in 1730 . At the end of the Grand Canal , buildings for commercial purposes were built in the 1780s that could use the energy of the waterfall there.

The beginnings of the parish of Chantilly

After the French Revolution, Chantilly became a commune, which took over the parish boundaries. The administrator of the ducal estates, André-Joseph Antheaume de Surval, became the first mayor, and the rest of the municipal council was also made up of officials from the castle. The Condé were among the first to flee abroad after the storm of the Bastille on July 17, 1789. Their property was placed under compulsory administration on June 13, 1792 and, in application of the law on emigrants, parceled out and sold. The first part was sold in 1793–1795, including the old garden, the cascade garden, the last pieces of land that were available along today's Rue du Connétable and around today's Große Wiese , as well as the townhouses owned by the Condé. Much of these initial sales never became part of the castle again. The rest of the property was parceled out and gradually sold in 1798.

During the reign of terror at the beginning of the French Revolution, the mayor was driven out on August 15, 1793 and replaced by a Jacobin . Between 1793 and 1794 the castle was converted into a prison in which suspects from the Oise were held. After it was sold as a national property in 1799, two entrepreneurs turned it into a quarry, only the Small Castle was spared. The stud was seized by the army and used to house mounted regiments.

Several entrepreneurs benefited from the sale of the Condé's goods by expanding their activities. In 1792, the Chantilly porcelain factory began producing faience , inspired by its new English owner, Christophe Potter. A copper rolling mill was built in the industrial buildings on the canal in 1801. In 1807, François Richard-Lenoir founded his spinning mill there. It employed up to 600 people and brought the community a relative prosperity. Richard-Lenoir later also began producing cloth and indiennes , using English technology, and ran a laundry. The decline of the spinning mill began as early as 1814; after losing its monopoly, it went bankrupt in 1822.

In 1850, Louis V Joseph returned to what was left of his castle. He was able to regain part of the previous property and bought the rest. His son, Louis VI. Henri Joseph had hydrants installed in the city (1823) and also a large part of the street lamps (1827).

City of summer retreat and entertainment in the 19th century

In 1834 the first horse race took place on the Great Meadow of Chantilly. From the 1840s onwards, the races attracted spectators from all walks of life, especially from Paris. The construction of the railroad in 1859 in particular helped the races to be a great success. Later, a train station was opened which was specially designed for the horse racing spectators and which allowed up to 20,000 betting enthusiasts and spectators to come on days with horse racing. Little by little, a separate track and grandstands were built, which became today's racecourse. Before the First World War , a record 40,000 people attended the Prix ​​du Jockey Club in 1912 .

Numerous stables for breeding thoroughbred horses were built around the racecourse. This new branch of the economy promoted urban development and new districts such as Bois Saint-Denis emerged. While the number of horse trainers in the community was 2 in 1846 and the number of stable boys 17, in 1896 30 trainers and 309 stable boys were employed. Many English were employed in this branch: three-quarters of the jockeys, stable boys and coaches came from England; they formed a community for which a separate Anglican chapel was built around 1870.

At the same time, the summer freshness developed: aristocrats, upper class citizens and artists settled in the city and built villas and castles in the surrounding communities, such as the Rothschild family in Gouvieux . Luxury hotels were also built, such as the Hôtel du Grand Condé in 1908. The Duc d'Aumale , last lord of the city, promoted horse breeding, the settlement of the English and the development of the city. Between 1876 and 1882 he had the castle rebuilt and housed his art collection, one of the most important of his time, here. The presence of the high nobility of Europe in his castle (including Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary and the Russian Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich Romanov ) made Chantilly even more glamorous. In 1898 the property was given to the Institut de France and opened to the public. This added to the attractiveness of Chantilly for day trippers: the castle was visited by 100,000 people in the first six months after it opened.

The wealth also attracted the greed of criminals: on March 25, 1912, the branch of Société Générale in Chantilly was attacked by the Bonnot gang , killing two employees.

During the Franco-Prussian War , the city was occupied by the Prussian army for almost a year. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg and his general staff quartered in the small castle . His troops confiscated the stud; the horse breeding had to move to other buildings.

Chantilly in World War I

Memorial to General Joffre on the boulevard named after him

On September 3, 1914, the German army marched into the city, but left it the following day. Although the castle was occupied, no extraordinary damage was done there, whereas the neighboring towns of Creil and Senlis suffered fire and destruction. French soldiers returned to the city on September 9th. After the Battle of the Marne , General Joffre set up his staff in Chantilly because he could use the rail link to Paris here.

→ Main article: Chantilly Castle

The Chantilly Castle was built by the Montmorency built and later served as the residence of Condé and the Duke of Aumale that allows the Institut de France bequeathed. The castle consists of two parts: the Small Castle (Petit Château) and the New Castle (Château Neuf) . The former was built in 1560 by the architect Jean Bullant for the Connétable Anne de Montmorency . The interior design of the large living rooms goes back to the 18th century and comes from artists such as Jean Aubert , Christophe Huet and Jean-Baptiste Oudry . The small living rooms were refurbished in the 19th century and are on the ground floor. The new castle was built by the architect Honoré Daumet between 1876 and 1882 and takes the place of those parts of the castle that were destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century. It houses the picture gallery, the libraries and the chapel. A gallery, built by the architect Félix Duban in the 1840s, connects the two buildings.

The castle is surrounded by a 155 hectare park, of which 25 hectares are water. A distinction is made between the Great Gardens (Grands Parterres) , which were planned by André Le Nôtre , the Anglo-Chinese garden , which was laid out between 1772 and 1774 and at the center of which is the Hameau de Chantilly , the English garden that was built in 1817 around the Temple of Venus in the west and, on the border with the forest, the Parc de la Cabotière and the Parc de Sylvie .

Chantilly Castle houses the Musée Condé and thus one of the largest collections of ancient art and the second largest collection of ancient paintings in France after the Louvre . The museum is also known for its collection of 1,300 manuscripts, including Très Riches Heures . This collection may not be modified or loaned, as the conditions on which the Duke of Aumale bequeathed it to the Institut de France forbid it . So she stays in Chantilly forever.

The stud , which is also located in the castle and where the horse museum is located, is one of the most visited centers for horse breeding in the world. It was built by Jean Aubert between 1790 and 1840. With a length of 186 m and a dome 38 m high, it offered space for 240 horses and 500 dogs, which were necessary for the daily driven hunt. The museum halls were renovated and reopened in 2011. There are daily dressage performances on the riding arena. Equestrian events are regularly organized under the large dome.

The Porte Saint-Denis is a building that was to become part of a pavilion opposite the covered riding arena; however, it was not completed. Work on this pavilion ceased in 1740 after the death of Louis IV Henri . This pavilion was originally intended to be built to provide a monumental entrance to the emerging city. Its name goes back to the old landowners, the Abbey of Saint-Denis , which at that time was in the immediate vicinity of the castle.

The grandstands of the racecourse

The racecourse and its surroundings

The Chantilly Racecourse opened on May 15, 1834. The current runway is from 1879. The grand stands were built in 1881 by Honoré Daumet . They are among the oldest horse racing stands in France and are a listed building. Charles Girault built the old Libra building in 1891, the architect Saint-Ange built the committee's grandstand and the old prince's grandstand in 1911.

The racecourse separates the Bois Bourillon wood from the Chantilly wood. It is named after a Burillon who owned it in the 16th century. Since 1841 there has been a cemetery in its center, which was established after a donation from Queen Maria Amalia . There are numerous graves of famous people there; one section is reserved for the English who have lived in the parish since the 19th century and another for Polish officers. Paul Cézanne immortalized the Bois Bourillon in a picture when he visited the city in 1888.

The Chapelle Sainte-Croix , also called La mère Mary , located directly next to the racecourse , is one of the seven chapels (Saint-Pierre, Sainte-Croix-en-Jérusalem, Saint-Jean, Saint-Paul, Saint-Laurent, Saint-Sébastien , Notre-Dame), which Anne de Montmorency had built between 1534 and 1538. In the 19th century, Mère Mary lived and worked in the chapel with her family; Mère Mary sometimes worked as a nurse in Chantilly. The chapel kept the name Mère Mary from then on . During horse races, it serves as a point of reference for the jockeys: whoever leads the field when passing the chapel has the best chance of winning the race. Near the chapel there is a pillar erected to commemorate the prisoners who perished in the castle during the reign of terror and were buried next to the chapel.

View over the Pelouse to the Hôtel du Grand Condé

To the north of the racecourse, the Pelouse joins part of the Great Meadows, the grassland that used to cover the entire area of ​​the racecourse. The former Hôtel du Grand Condé , located on the north side of the Pelouse, was built by the architect Charles Holl in 1908. It belonged to the Ruhl hotel chain and had 100 rooms with bath and telephone, a bar, a restaurant with a terrace and a view of the city on six floors Great meadows. King George V lived there several times. From 1914 to 1916 it served as the general headquarters, during the Second World War it was first confiscated by the German and later by the American army . In 1948 it was sold for residential use.

After the parish was founded, part of the building served as a dwelling for the priest until 1724, when a separate parish office was built next to the parish church. In 1777 it became the court under the Condé Princes, served as a prison office and the seat of the city's notary public. In 1790 it became the municipality's first mayor's office. Today it is privately owned.

The Hôtel Quinquempoix , not far from the Hôtel de Beauvais, was built in 1553 and is now located on Rue du Connétable . It initially served as accommodation for the squire of the Connétable and later as the residence of the artisans of the property. An art school was established here shortly before the revolution. It was later heavily rebuilt. The Hôtel d'Andigné de la Chasse was built from 1790 in the middle of a garden for the Bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône . In 1850 the municipality bought it back with the financial help of the Duc d'Aumale to set up the town hall here. The town hall moved to its current building in 1937. The Hôtel d'Andigné de la Chasse now houses event halls.

The Hôtel Lovenjoul was built by Jean Aubert in 1730 . It is located near the Maisons des Officiers , on rue du Connétable . After it became the property of the Institut de France in 1906 , it initially housed the library of Count Spoelberch de Lovenjoul , which consisted of 1400 manuscripts by 19th century writers and prints that had also been bequeathed to the institute. The bibliophile Georges Vicaire became its first conservator. In 1987 the collection was transferred to the Institut de France in Paris and the building was sold. It has been a listed building since 1989.

The Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption

The Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption , now a listed building, was built between 1687 and 1681 according to plans by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and under the leadership of Pierre Gittard . It stands at the eastern end of the Rue du Connétable . It was consecrated on March 13, 1692. In 1724 aisles were added and a yoke was added in the nave . In 1854 a monument was erected in the right aisle to house the hearts of the Princes of Condé , who could not stay in the old chapel of the castle after the revolution. In 1883 they were moved to the castle's new chapel.

The slightly north of the Rue du Connétable located Potager des Princes is the old garden and the old pheasant of the castle and was built 1,682th In 1773, Ludwig V Joseph had the pheasantry converted into a Roman pavilion , also known as the refreshment room .

Industrial monuments

View over the Canal de la Machine to the Pavillon de Manse

The Pavillon de Manse was built in 1678 on the banks of the Nonette , in the heart of Chantilly, to house a water art . The task of this machine was to draw water vertically from a spring, to direct it into an open reservoir and from there to distribute it to the basins, fountains, cascades and water features that line the west of the gardens of the Grand Condé , that of André Le Nôtre were planned to distribute. The mechanism was later renewed. Attached to the Pavillon de Manse is another building, which was built in the 19th century and also served to supply the castle and the city with water and later housed a laundry that can still be visited today.

The old Guilleminot works , opened in 1892 near the viaduct in an old wool spinning mill, used the river and its water to produce photo plates , later films and photo paper. The company later specialized in paper for art photography. It was one of the last plants of its kind in France and closed in 1992. The building was converted into an office building. With its brick walls and its original steel structure, it has an industrial feel.

The oldest of these is the Golf de Chantilly , which is located in the municipality of Vineuil-Saint-Firmin , offers two 18-hole courses and is only open to members and their guests. The Hôtel Dolce , also in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin, and the 18-hole Golf du Lys are located between Gouvieux and Lamorlaye
• The Polo Club de Chantilly is located in Apremont and is the oldest polo club in Western Europe.
• There is a swimming pool in Gouvieux .
• The racecourse regularly serves as a practice area for kite flying .

Of the city's 33 sports clubs, the Union Sportive de Chantilly (football, athletics) and the Groupement athlétique et sportif de Chantilly (basketball, gymnastics, table tennis) are the most important. An archery company has survived in Chantilly , which was founded in 1730 and, according to the tradition of the Valois, is called the Première Compagnie d'arc de Chantilly . Their practice area is located in the Bois Bourillon after their old shooting range had to give way to the expansion of the racecourse in the 19th century. In addition to the Cercle hippique de Chantilly , which was originally located in the stud farm of the castle, today in Bois Saint-Denis , there are thirteen other riding clubs in the vicinity of Chantilly that are members of the Fédération française d'équitation .

The main sporting events in the city are flat races organized by France Galop from April to October . The Chantilly racecourse is also the venue for show jumping competitions : the Grand national in April and the CSI **** in September.

Every May the Coupe Murat , an international amateur golf tournament, takes place on the Golf de Chantilly . The Open de France Polo Cup has been held annually at the Polo Club de Chantilly since 2001 and in 2004 Chantilly was the venue for the 7th edition of the World Polo Championship .

Thanks to the available hotel infrastructure, Chantilly is often a preparation site for soccer teams. This has been a tradition since the French selection for the 1938 World Cup in Chantilly for the competitions. Recently, for example, Olympique Marseille has been preparing for the final of the French Football Cup 2006/2007 in Chantilly. Public training sessions occasionally take place in the Stade des Bourgognes .
