The equestrian center is well know for breeding and training high quality Thoroughbred race horses, but of course there are many excellent school or trail horses for the riding clientele. Riding groups are kept small to a maximum of 6 riders. The rides explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the estate or you can opt for riding instructions in the arena in the disciplines of dressage, cross country or stadium jumping. If you like nature and horses, you will be enchanted with the daily trail rides or riding instructions. Explore the endless diverse landscapes of the Cantal and watch the chain of volcanic hills rise in front of you with its 80 volcanoes and the Massif of Mountains Gilds. Bourbonnais is the ancient province of the center of France.

The trainers speak limited English, so they are supported by an English lady (a rider as well), who provides the translation, which works quite well.



Next to the horseback riding options, there are other outdoor activities available from fishing, hiking, canoeing or visiting the local markets.

Sorry, no video is currently available for this tour.

The handsome chateau dates back to 1836 and has glorious views over its 100 acre estate from a position of sublime rural tranquility. Its hilltop position offers wonderful views of the estate's 100 acres including the lake, forests and fields. From its southern exposure, the terrace provides views of the estate and farmlands, church towers and the traditional bocage.
Large, flower-filled terracotta pots along the terrace enhance the area, making it the perfect place for enjoying a refreshing drink or meal.
When the days turn hot, relax or nap in the shade of old, spreading trees. At the heart of the property is the beautiful, romantic 19th century mansion, completely renovated and operated as a small hotel with just sixteen rooms of a very high standard.
