In Chantilly, the summer of 2025 promises to be flamboyant and legendary. From July 12 to August 17, the dome of the Grandes \u00c9curies will host “Kalendae, la ronde des Heures”, an original equestrian journey inspired by a medieval masterpiece. A visual and sensory experience conceived as a living echo of the Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures of the Duc de Berry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A show echoing a medieval treasure<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

“Kalendae” was born on the occasion of the exceptional exhibition devoted to the Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures du Duc de Berry<\/strong>, one of the world’s most precious medieval manuscripts, rarely exhibited since the XIX\u1d49 century. To accompany this event, the Compagnie \u00e9questre du Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly<\/strong> has imagined a totally new show, combining equestrian art, dance, music and medieval symbolism. <\/p>\n\n

A poetic and immersive fresco<\/h2>\n\n

Under the dome, magnificently redecorated for the occasion, the equestrians perform alongside horses, ponies and donkeys, in a lively fresco inspired by medieval miniatures<\/strong>. Peasants, ladies, astrologers, reapers, unicorns and fantastical creatures rub shoulders in a ballet of tableaux come to life. The Middle Ages are reinvented: neither strictly historical, nor entirely fantasized, but highly sensitive and imaginary<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Artists from all horizons<\/h2>\n\n

Alongside the horsewomen, a singer, a contemporary dancer, aerial acrobats and acrobats enrich the visual narrative<\/strong>. Each scene is multi-sensory, punctuated by the seasons, constellations and forgotten rituals. It’s a suspended moment<\/strong>, an emotional journey carried by music, light and movement. <\/p>\n\n

Practical information<\/h2>\n\n

The show takes place on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2.30pm<\/strong> under the dome of the Grandes \u00c9curies. Various tickets combine a visit to the ch\u00e2teau, the park, the living horse museum and the temporary exhibition. <\/p>\n\n
