Chateau de Chantilly

Stop: 3 hours - admission not included

Itinerary stop at Chateau de Chantilly on private day trip from Paris

An elegant castle retreat just beyond Parisian bustle. Once nearly destroyed during the French Revolution, Château de Chantilly was meticulously restored in the 19th century by the Duke of Aumale. Begin your visit in the Musée Condé, home to rare manuscripts and Renaissance paintings. Continue through lavishly furnished rooms that reveal aristocratic tastes across centuries. The surrounding parklands offer peaceful walking paths designed by André Le Nôtre. The estate’s Great Stables, featured in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, highlight France’s noble equestrian heritage. Take your time exploring both the cultural and natural elements of the property before continuing to Royaumont Abbey. Visitors should note that tickets will need to be purchased separately. You can buy tickets at https://billetterie.chateaudechantilly.fr/fr-FR/accueilnote

Royaumont Abbey

Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover

Stop: 1 h 30 min - admission not included

Itinerary stop at Royaumont Abbey on private day trip from Paris

A spiritual retreat of arches, light, and reflection. Royaumont Abbey offers a rare glimpse into medieval monastic life. Founded in the 13th century under royal patronage, it became a center of learning, agriculture, and spiritual devotion. Begin in the cloister, where elegant Gothic arches frame a peaceful garden, then explore the chapter house and former dormitory to understand the rhythms of monastic life. After the French Revolution, the abbey was transformed into a factory before being carefully restored. Today, art installations and music performances bring new life to the historic setting. This creative vision dates back decades: in 1971, Pink Floyd performed at the abbey, invited by the Daudy family, who continue to champion culture and the arts. End your visit with a quiet walk around the reflecting pond. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at https://www.royaumont.com/en/practical-information/tickets-and-prices/

Amazing driver experience

Our driver, Ibrahim, was wonderful. He drove us from Amman airport to Petra. Our flight was one hour early and he was already waiting for us when we got to the exit of the airport. He was helpful, professional and friendly. We would definitely love to have Ibrahim again and highly recommend him!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Touring through Tuscany

We had the same driver for our 2 day trip in tuscany. I was able to develop my own itinerary so I could go where we wanted and see the things we wanted. Marco was fantastic!! He opened doors for us and made sure my mother was able to get in and out of the car easily. He had water in the car for us. He was early picking us up both days and brought us as close to the towns as he could. He told us which way to go to enter the cities and then sent me his location so we knew how to get back to him after traveling the streets. Im so happy I decided to get a driver to take us through Tuscany. It took all the worry and anxiety of driving through this region I had never been to and didnt know where to park. Money well spent!

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Chateau de Chantilly features on-site restaurants and cafes within the estate, including the renowned Le Hameau restaurant. Royaumont Abbey offers a cafe with light refreshments in its peaceful setting. Both locations allow visitors to dine while absorbing the atmosphere. Alternatively, travelers can bring picnic supplies to enjoy in the parklands, weather permitting, creating a leisurely French countryside experience.

Yes, advance tickets are recommended for Chateau de Chantilly, especially during peak tourist season and weekends. Tickets can be purchased online at the official website. Royaumont Abbey also benefits from advance booking through their ticketing system. Having confirmed entry ensures smooth visits and avoids potential disappointment or long queues at popular times.

Visitors typically spend three hours exploring Chateau de Chantilly, allowing time for the museum, parklands, and Great Stables. Royaumont Abbey receives one and a half hours for the cloister, chapter house, and grounds. The total round trip from Paris takes approximately seven hours, providing a balanced experience of both noble grandeur and monastic contemplation without exhausting travelers.

The extensive parklands at Chantilly provide space for children to explore, while the Great Stables often fascinate young visitors with their architectural grandeur and equestrian connections. Royaumont Abbey's peaceful grounds and reflecting pond create a contemplative environment. However, parents should gauge their children's interest in art museums and historical sites. The combination of outdoor and indoor spaces works well for families with varied interests.

Chateau de Chantilly houses the Musee Conde, containing one of France's finest art collections outside the Louvre, including Renaissance paintings, rare manuscripts, and the illuminated Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. The estate features grand parklands designed by Andre Le Notre, creator of Versailles gardens. The Great Stables, which appeared in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, demonstrate France's equestrian heritage in stunning architectural form.

Spring through fall offers ideal conditions for enjoying the extensive parklands at both sites. Summer provides warm weather perfect for strolling gardens, though it brings larger crowds. Spring showcases blooming gardens at Chantilly. Autumn colors enhance the landscape's beauty. Winter visits are quieter but some outdoor areas may be less accessible. Gardens are most impressive from April through October.

The Musee Conde contains works by Italian Renaissance masters, including Raphael and Filippino Lippi, French paintings from various periods, and an exceptional collection of illuminated manuscripts. The famous Tres Riches Heures features exquisite medieval book illustrations. The collection rivals major museums in scope and quality, displayed in opulent rooms that enhance the viewing experience with period furnishings and decoration.

Royaumont Abbey provides a spiritual and architectural contrast to Chantilly's aristocratic luxury. Founded in the 13th century under royal patronage, this Cistercian monastery showcases Gothic architecture and monastic life. Following the French Revolution, the site underwent restoration and now serves as a cultural center hosting art installations and concerts. Pink Floyd performed here in 1971, beginning a tradition of blending historical preservation with contemporary creativity.
