The original chateau in this domaine was burned down during the French revolution. A new one was built the 1870s. The grounds are stunning (the garden was designed by Andre Le Notre), but the chateau is also the location of the Condé Museum which has an impressive art collection. Second only to the Louvre (according to Wikipedia).
There is also a renowned equestrian museum next to the chateau. It was a bit too much for us to do in one day, so we saved it for next time.
Beagles in the house!
Rarely do I see non-Europeans in French paintings, so this piece caught my eye.
The museum has three Raphael's on display. The three graces above was tucked away in one of the small galleries of the museum. The museum is not very big, but you must take care to visit all the little nooks and crannies lest you miss a fine piece of art.
