Alternatively, learn about traditional lace-making at La Cité Dentelle Mode de Calais – which also runs workshops – and the Musée de la Dentelle in Chantilly. Did you know ? Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress was made from the lace of Caudry and The stylish bottles holding perfumes from the great perfume houses of France are made in the Glass Valley near the Somme Bay.
Indeed, Chantilly is a fantastic place to learn about craftsmanship, including Haute Ecole dressage in its Musée du Cheval. World-famous Crème Chantilly originated here too; taste it in Le Hameau or La Capitainerie on the castle estate. In nearby Chantilly, La Maison & L’Atelier is a British artists’ house with stylish guest-rooms.
"Don’t leave Chantilly without popping into Le Boudoir for gourmet treats to bring home."
