South of Chantilly, the forest runs down to a chain of ponds among the trees, the Étangs de Commelles, next to Coye-la-Forêt. It is the walk locals take on Sundays, and the counterpoint to the castle: water, oaks and silence. The Commelles railway viaduct crosses the valley above.
Getting there
By car to the forest car parks on the ponds route, a quarter of an hour from the centre of Chantilly. Bring footwear for dirt tracks, which turn muddy in the rain.
Tips
- Sunday afternoon After lunch, the walk around the ponds is flat and easy.
