Why take this tour?
Explore the beautiful gardens of the Chateau de Chantilly in the company of a professional actor-guide, as she sets the stage for one of the most important parties to be held there. Step back in time and marvel at the splendor of princely festivities: ballets, feasts, masques and theatrics fit to please a king. And please, it must! Molière will be amongst the many star guests with his wife Armande at the magnificent party thrown by the Duke of Condé. Armande– your actor guide – will tell you, however, this is not all amusement for amusement’s sake, but a desperate bid to regain favor with Louis XIV. Will it work? History and theatre combine in this very special visit.
