The place
At the heart of the estate
The pavilion stands at the heart of the Royal Abbey of Chaalis estate, between the ruins of the Cistercian abbey, the Sainte-Marie chapel and the rose garden, listed as a “Jardin remarquable”. The estate, bequeathed to the Institut de France by Nélie Jacquemart-André in 1912, is one of the great heritage sites of the Oise.
The park, the rose garden, the abbey and the chapel require an estate ticket. The tea room is free to enter.
