The Grandes Écuries are 18th-century stables as big as a palace, opposite the racecourse. A Prince de Condé had them built, convinced, according to legend, that he would be reincarnated as a horse. Today they house horses of the estate, a ring under the dome and a museum dedicated to the horse.
Events and shows
The one-day ticket includes a visit to the stables and whatever equestrian events are on that day. In season, shows with their own ticket are staged: at Christmas 2026, Le Noël oublié, from 28 November to 3 January 2027, for €24 (€19 for ages 3 to 25), with the visit to the stables included. Places are limited: buy online.
Opening hours
At present they open from 12:00 to 17:00 and close on Tuesdays. Next to the stables is the Café Les Écuries for a drink.
