Chantilly Cream Workshop | Château de Montvillargenne in the Oise region of France
Chantilly cream made its name during the Age of Enlightenment. Its birthplace was the Hameau and the Prince de Condé's dairy, which enjoyed great renown throughout Europe.
The dairy was an exceptional place, located near the Vineuil menagerie, on the Senlis road. Access was via a beautiful courtyard surrounded by chestnut trees, and the main building was a rather magical place, all marble, housing the basins for beating butter and the porcelain vases filled with cream.
During the French Revolution, the Château's dairy was destroyed. In the 19th century, the Duc d'Aumale had the hamlet restored, and it is now part of the grounds of the Château de Chantilly.
