Below translated via Google, check original for details.

For this new edition, “Roots & Wings” will install its cameras inside the domain of Chantilly to go to the discovery of one of the most beautiful places in the history of France, currently enjoying a renaissance …

Chantilly is of course famous for its castle (and its magnificent collection of ancient paintings, the second after the Louvre), but also for its park …

Gardens fully restored, and were designed in the 17th century by André Le Nôtre, creator of the gardens of Versailles!

A castle in the fascinating and turbulent history that its last owner, the Duke of Aumale (the son of the late French king, Louis-Philippe) bequeathed to the Institut de France.

In recent years, the backup domain depends, among other things, a foundation initiated by a patron shows and discreet: the Aga Khan, who is with the writer-academician Erik Orsenna, the guest of the show.
