Tips & Advice
- Plan to eat at the Rotary's Espace Café, which serves mulled wine, crêpes, waffles and white sausages, because the domaine has no restaurant of its own.
- Take the children to the Rotary tent, where they can pose for photos with Santa in a decorated setting.
- Stay until closing to catch the five-minute fireworks display on the north parterre, one of the extras the domaine is putting on.
- Add the crèche exhibition in the orangerie or the château restoration tour to your day, but note these extras need a separate paid ticket.
- Dress warmly, because the market is set up outdoors in the park of the Domaine de Chaalis in late November.
