Stables of the Château Chaumont-Laguiche, 17th century equestrian complex at Château Chaumont-la-Guiche, Saône-et-Loire, France.

The stone stables display three groin vault naves supported by Tuscan columns, with monumental staircases adorning the exterior facades.

François Blondel designed these stables in 1648 for Henriette de La Guiche, who commissioned them for her husband Louis-Emmanuel de Valois.

The equestrian statue of Philibert de La Guiche above the entrance represents the 100th horse, as only the King could maintain stables for 100 horses.

The stables offer guided tours from July through September, with six daily time slots between 11 AM and 5 PM, excluding Mondays.

The architectural design incorporates concepts originally developed by Leonardo da Vinci, demonstrating advanced engineering principles of the Renaissance period.
