My latest for @cnntravel : “Surrounded by dense, green forests, it's home to one of France's lesser known châteaux, long eclipsed by its more ostentatious cousins in the Loire Valley and Versailles. At its heart is Auberge du Jeu de Paume, a five-star hotel built specifically with Parisians in mind. The allure? A restorative retreat where stressed-out urbanites can live like 19th-century French nobility in the bucolic countryside -- think horseback riding, polo, long forest promenades and Swiss spa treatments -- if only for a weekend.” Paris is baking under a heatwave right mow. Trying to summon the memory of the sweet fresh air and forests of the Chantilly Domaine...all photos my own. #chateau #chateaudechantilly #domainedechantilly #visitfrance #igersparis #igparis #fairytalecastle #castle #frenchchateau #luxuryhotel #luxury #traveljournalist #travelphotography #travelphotos #francecartepostale #cartepostale #france_vacations #frenchcountry (at Chateau de Chantilly) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQJzjzo35V/?igshid=dnn9qkf0u0v4
