Welcom our equestrian farm where horse is king! Their nature is preserve, we ride them bitless and prefer trail or french dressage art rather than grounds of competition... To preserve their health they are barefoot (natural horse trim), they live out and together. You can have a horse or poney trail, lessons or initiation, training.

We had an amazing day in the beautiful park. It offers a nice variety of attractions for young and old. Also it’s nice and clean. However what I don’t understand is that you can smoke in the park. But overall really nice!

Amazing space where you can explore different Vichy water sources. Taste but don't drink too much unless you what you are doing. celestins is the safe one, it is the one that you get it from the grocery, the rest doesn't taste as good and rich with different minerals Enjoy :)

After parking in a deserted wooded car park area, you enter the Chateau grounds and find a glorious garden with a lake. The Chateau is still very grand but a little faded. As we waited for our tickets a beautiful hummingbird moth sipped the nectar of the flowers by the entrance. You enter the main arboretum at a small opening by the side of the Chateau and follow the many paths through dozens of exotic mature trees. It is truly magnificent. The shade of of the trees keeps you cool on the sunniest of days. It is a forest of calm.
