In the heart of Provence, just over half an hour from Marseille and the sparkling Mediterranean, you will find our fantastic stud farm and dressage oasis. You drive through beautiful iron gates, along an impressive driveway shaded by majestic plane trees, and at its end, the estate appears. It is a 18th-century style house, nestled within a sculpted garden, where the large pool is guarded by stone lions.
On the extensive grounds, there is a renowned stud farm with around 60 horses, founded by Catherine 50 years ago. Initially, the focus was on breeding highly rideable Lusitanos. In the past 15 years, she and her daughter Alicia have chosen to further develop the breeding to include crossbreeding with active warmblood Grand Prix stallions. Now, there are offspring from, among others, the two-time world champion Glamourdale (successfully ridden by Charlotte Fry) and Jovian (ridden by Patrik Kittel).
The goal is to breed horses that, in addition to being highly rideable, also have excellent gaits to compete with world-class dressage horses.
Proof of their successful breeding is liberty rider and world artist Alizée Froment, who has performed all over the world in big arenas with her two stallions, Sultan and Mistral du Coussoul. Both come from the stud farm, and Mistral still contributes to the birth of more fantastic individuals.
Enjoy great hospitality, learn about their successful breeding concept, and have private lessons on their offsprings. All this, together with fantastic accommodations in an exceptionally beautiful environment, makes the stay unforgettable.
