Grandes écuries du château de Chantilly, Royal stables in Chantilly, France
The Great Stables extend over 186 meters in length, featuring two symmetrical wings that frame a central pavilion decorated with equestrian-themed stone sculptures.
Jean Aubert designed and constructed these stables between 1719 and 1735 for Louis-Henri de Bourbon, seventh Prince of Condé, to house 240 horses.
The Living Museum of the Horse occupies 15 rooms within the stables, presenting exhibitions about the relationship between humans and horses throughout history.
The equestrian company regularly performs demonstrations of horse training techniques, from basic exercises to complex movements in the central arena.
The prince commissioned these stables believing he might reincarnate as a horse, leading to the creation of particularly luxurious accommodations for the animals.
