- THE UNFORGETTABLE GUIDED TOUR OF THE HARAS

A walk with a guide through the heart of the historic 18th century buildings to discover horses or several different breeds, a wonderful tack room full of harness, and a superb collection of horse drawn carriages.

This visit can be offered to groups in either English or German at no extra charge.

After the guided tour, visitors can explore the museum, situated over 2 floors of a former stable block.  This provides background information on different aspects of equestrian life - the evolution of the horse, care and management, different trades, as well as providing further details about the history of the Haras, and the development of horse breeding in Normandy.  There is a gallery within the museum space, which hosts temporary exhibitions with an equine theme.
