In Chantilly, this fanciful evening will be an occasion to live an exclusive and immersive experience in one of the most handsome French châteaux.
Only 40 minutes from Paris, the equestrian capital, in France, is organizing its first costume ball in the 16th century château, built by prince Louis II de Condé-Bourbon, also known as Le Grand Condé. This unique and very special evening will highlight French style art of living. All those who are passionate about costumes and the History of France will be invited to relive a legendary festivity given in 1782.
A springtime costume bal in Chantilly
Facing the Grandes Ecuries stables, whose spectacles of thoroughbreds are always stunning, guests will be transported back to the atmosphere of yesteryear. They can move about in staterooms, admire the painting galleries filled with treasures, taste gourmet pleasures, partake in dance demonstrations, watch comedies and enjoy concerts.

A festive and princely evening
Each guest must imperatively be dressed in appropriate costume attire to celebrate the historical event and pass through the prestigious gates of the estate. After amusing games, punctuated by theatrical animations, a very tempting dinner-cocktail and fireworks will end the festivities—all with the exceptional participation of Son Altesse Sérénissime Louis Joseph de Bourbon.
