Description
Chantilly Forest is a large wooded area that extends across multiple municipalities and features dense woodland with varied vegetation patterns. A network of paths runs through the terrain, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the forest.
History
The forest developed from medieval hunting grounds and was gradually transformed into a modern protected area. Today it holds official status as a Natura 2000 site with specific conservation requirements.

The forest serves as a shared space for local communities, where residents from nearby villages regularly walk, ride horses, and spend time outdoors. It functions as a place where people connect with the land and each other throughout the year.
Practical
Multiple entry points allow visitors to access the forest easily, with parking areas near Chantilly and Senlis providing convenient starting points. Marked trails throughout the area suit different walking abilities and experience levels.
