Horse riding in the Parc de Versailles
Raphaele is one of the few people who can obtain the necessary authorizations to offer you an exclusive horse ride in the park of the Château de Versailles.
For this occasion, horses that have been carefully hand-picked and specially chartered by truck will be at your disposal to discover the majestic setting of the Château’s park.
A privilege sure to make you go back in time and feel like you are a part of Parisian royalty.
From 4:30 pm to 5:15 pm
Gourmet break
To recover our spirits before the throw of the final bouquet, we will give ourselves a gentle break in the park of the château, near a fountain, a pond or next to a sculpture… I will tell you about my life’s story and share my passion for horses since a young age.
From 5:15 pm to 6:00 pm
The Gallery of the Coaches of Versailles
Before going to the equestrian show, we will head to an exhibition of coaches, where the majestic coaches and small carriages for Marie Antoinette’s children, sedan chairs and sleds make up a wonderful collection that is a true testimony to the splendor of court life during the Ancien Régime, the Empire and the Restoration.
From 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
Shows of the National Equestrian Academy
We will then attend one of the most prestigious shows led by the pioneer of Equestrian Theater, Bartabas.
The squires will showcase their repertoire in the magnificent riding arena of the Grand Ecurie, through the spectacle of “La Voie de l’Ecuyer”. An experience combining technique, finesse, ease and virtuosity.
From 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Visit of the Royal Stables of Versailles
At the end of the show, the Royal Stables will open their doors to us, allowing for a discovery of the largest royal construction site ever undertaken to house horses. You will be fascinated by the location and sheer scale of these stables, which bear witness to the importance given to the horse under the Ancien Régime.
