Domaine de Chantilly Private Tour in a Mercedes Van
A full-day journey through one of France's most celebrated estates, in comfort and style.
This private Chantilly day tour takes you through the historic Domaine de Chantilly aboard a premium Mercedes Class V or EQV electric van, guided by a professional English-speaking driver dedicated entirely to your group.
Your driver, Sylvain, handles every detail in advance, including restaurant recommendations and reservations, so you can focus entirely on the experience. Fresh water and soft drinks are provided on board throughout the day.

Itinerary
Your private driver collects your group and begins the journey toward the Domaine de Chantilly. Refreshments are available on board as you travel in comfort.
Spend around three hours exploring the chateau, which houses the Conde Museum with its outstanding collection of old master paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and decorative arts. The grande salle and private apartments offer a vivid picture of aristocratic life in France.
Walk to the restored Hamlet, a group of five rustic cottages set within the Anglo-Chinese garden. Built in 1774 for the Prince of Conde, the cottages feature original pink draperies and period engravings that evoke the refined pastoral taste of 18th-century French aristocracy.
Your driver will have arranged a lunch reservation in advance based on your preferences. This midday break offers a chance to savour the local cuisine at a setting suited to your group.
Use the remaining afternoon hours to revisit favourite spots or explore parts of the estate at a leisurely pace. The gardens, stables, and parkland all reward unhurried attention.
Your driver returns your group at the agreed time, concluding a full ten-hour private day out in one of northern France's most storied destinations.
