History of Chantilly: its modernization and traces of ancient stables
As a recent city in terms of town planning, most of the major development and modernization projects took place two hundred and fifty years ago. During this period, the gardens sold to private individuals saw the implantation of villas, modern houses and buildings. After 1799, Chantilly underwent an extension. The main residences represent 92.4% of the dwellings on Chantilly, of which more than half are occupied by tenants. The Cantilian dwellings are equipped with an average of 3.5 rooms. Chantilly also has 1,115 social housing units. In spite of this modernization of the city, the traces of ancient stables at the origin of the horse tradition omnipresent in the city remain visible. During the Stone Age into the Iron Age, there are no traces of human occupation. The first artefacts to be restored are dated back to the Gallo-Roman period. Among the oldest relics found are some Merovingian tombs of the 7th century. It is in 1227 that the presence of a strong house is signalled on the present site of Chantilly. A century later, the castle of Chantilly will begin to be mentioned, its construction being completed in 1394. The Anglo-Burgundian invaders besieged the castle in 1421, but without success. Later, the castle will fall into the hands of the invaders in order to save the lives of its inhabitants. The town of Chantilly developed in what once belonged to the estate of the castle. Chantilly obtained the commune status during the French Revolution. Towards the end of the 17th century, the castle was sold in lots: the vegetable garden, the waterfalls garden, etc. After these invasions and a series of looting, the castle is refurbished. The current version of this ancient medieval fortress was built in 1882, following the Renaissance guidelines. Having been renovated in the 19th century, it has also undergone the influences of eclectic architecture. The name Chantilly comes from the Gallic name Cantilius. The town received the name Champ-Libre, following a convention encouraging cities with names reminiscent of the feudal era to find a different denominator.
