Chantilly

Chantilly, France, may be better known for crème Chantilly that the chef at the chateau there invented in the mid 1600's (whipped cream for the culinary challenged). However, its annual race for the Prix de Diane brings out richnss of another sort. The Prix is for three-year-old fillies, and there's a race with all-female jockeys. According to French logic, that means "bring on feminine elegance." Translation: Hats and horses.
