French Cottage Holiday in Europe
Whether you love racing or not, a race day at Chantilly track is an unmissable experience that is unique in Europe on your cottage holiday. Chantilly is located 25 miles north of Paris, and goes from provincial calm to cosmopolitan buzz when the races come to town.
The lovely French holiday cottages in the town are all booked up, and trainers gather at the bistros as tourists from around Europe enjoy the local food at outdoor cafes. Chantilly is about more then racing, though. It is a town that is famous for the sublime Chantilly cream, and fine porcelain with its distinctive and intricate black bobbin lace design. It is also a town with one of the finest chateaux in France, which contains a collection of paintings and manuscripts that are only rivaled by Paris.
