Close to country picnic grounds in the park of the prestigious Chantilly Ch‰teau, you can tour a small Middle Age herb garden and sample regional products. It was in 1775 that Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Prince of CondŽ, had a garden added to a small hamlet, which was the source of inspiration for Marie Antoinette. It illustrated the taste of the times seeking the return of pastoral life. Inside the enclosure of one of the buildings, the mill which is still standing, you can visit a small simples garden with its medicinal and edible plants.
