The Chaalis estate is a destination of choice for lovers of heritage, art and history. The ruins of the Gothic church and cloister still remain from this former royal abbey founded in the 12th century, the chapel and its exceptional decoration of Renaissance frescoes and the imposing 18th century convent building. Sold during the French Revolution and then restored by several owners in the 19th century, the estate became in 1902 the property of Nélie Jacquemart-André, who collected a collection of nearly 6,000 works of art. When she died in 1912, she bequeathed Chaalis and her Parisian hotel to the Institut de France, which has since endeavoured to preserve and restore this exceptional heritage while opening it to as many people as possible.
