The château de Chantilly was built for the House of Montmorency, then was home to the Condésand finally to the Duke of Aumale, fifth son of Louis-Philippe.
Chantilly was also in the 19th century a playground for aristocrats and artists, as well as home to an English community with ties to horse racing.
The first horse races were run in 1834 on the lawn area known as the pelouse, and the 1840s saw an influx of bettors of all social classes, especially from Paris.
The success of the horse races was primarily due to the opening of the train station in 1859.
