In the Anglo-Chinese garden of the park is the Hameau, a village of rustic-looking cottages built in 1775 for the Prince de Condé: seven houses, of which five remain, which inspired Marie Antoinette's Hameau at Versailles. In one of them is the Hameau restaurant, famous for its home-made Chantilly cream.
The cream
Chantilly cream, whipped cream with sugar, is named after the castle. At the Hameau it is served on strawberries, in desserts and in cones. The restaurant is open every day except Tuesday at lunchtime and the tea room until 17:45.
Tips
- For afternoon tea The Hameau tea room is the perfect end to a walk; at weekends it fills up in mid-afternoon.
