Picked up at our hotel by our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Benoit, who made sure we had an excellent day visiting the chateau, art collection, and impressive riding stables (fun!). Lunch was at an attractive nearby Relais &Chateaux. The day in the country was a lovely addition to our mostly urban Parisian itinerary. Recommend!!

Unfortunately I assumed "professional guide" included meant that this was to be a "guided tour." Not so. Better description would be provides car, driver and ticket purchases. While lunch that was included was really, really good, the online promo material labeled it as a "Renaissance-style meal." Hardly. At a cost approaching $300/person, one might think a clearer picture of what is to be provided could be made available.

We were amazed by the amount and quality of the art. Th dressage was well done, and I loved our visit to the stables afterward. The architecture was more impressive than Inanticipated.

For horse lovers and castle admirers this is a wonderful day trip. We had a fun driver who shared information about the countryside. The chateau is a beautiful castle and the stables with the museum were amazing. The lunch was delicious even though we didn't know exactly what we ordered. The horse show was crowded but lovely to see. Highly recommended

The guides are fantastic, this is a must do chateau only a short drive out of Paris and the lunch was the best cuisine I have had in France. The stables are a good add on and the setting of the nextdoor racetrack and the town of Chantilly is picture postcard.
