It is the most beautiful place, totally dedicated to horse breeding and racing, the "Prix de Jockey Club" takes place here each year, and I had the opportunity to see some great American horses competing back in July. I took my grandaughter there one morning whilst they were excercising the horses, and she was totally enthralled. Chantilly combines a fairy tale castle with a long tradition of horse breeding, complete with an equestrian museum, and is also a destination for Paris school outings. I will try to find some photos to post -------------------- Quand tout rena�t � l'esp�rance

Too bad we don't have anything like that here in the States. I bet it's the most beautiful sight when the fog rolls in the morning and they're bringing the horses out first thing. -------------------- Dance Life to the Fullest.

I think Americans pronounce it Shon Tilly - like in 'Shontilly Lace' and 'Shontilly cream'.... Isn't it interesting how the real pronunciation gets changed?
