We had a delightful tour with Alain to Chantilly Castle and to the town. This was the 3rd tour with him and he was fabulous! He made the castle come alive with his descriptions. Lunch was at a local restaurant which was very good as was the pleasant drive in the countryside. Looking forward in booking with Alain again.
