First on most visitors’ lists is the Château de Chantilly, recognisable to many as a filming location for the James Bond movie A View to a Kill. As well as the royal apartments decorated with their original furnishings and artworks, this spectacular structure is home to the Musée de Condé, where France’s largest collection of antique paintings after the Louvre includes works by Ingres, Poussin and Delacroix.
