Auberge du Jeu de Paume
Hotel and restaurant in a park (Chantilly) The Auberge, nestled in the Domaine de Chantilly, between the Château Gardens and the Grandes Écuries, takes its name from what was the Jeu de Paume, which now displays the monumental paintings from the Condé Museum. As you enter through the Saint-Denis Gate, the long white façade of the Auberge stretches out before your eyes. Its sober lines and elegant appointments, designed by Le Nôtre and Mansart, echo a very particular French-style art de vivre.
Its restaurant, La Table du Connétable, with studio windows overlooking the kitchens, serves inventive traditional cuisine, and the libraries and the open fire in the Winter Garden Bar create a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere. The spa’s subtle lighting and coloured mosaics add the finishing touches to this perfect hideaway, just a few kilometres from Paris.
