Haras de Cluny, Horse stud farm and sports venue in Cluny, France.

The Haras de Cluny is a horse stud farm and sports venue set in historic buildings with stables, training grounds, and riding facilities for breeding and competitions. The complex spans several structures where daily equestrian work takes place and regular demonstrations occur.

The stud farm opened in 1807 under Napoleon I as a stallion depot, with about fifty horses first housed in the Saint-Hugues stables. From 1820 they moved into new buildings erected between 1814 and 1880 on the foundations of Cluny Abbey, using stone from its demolition. A 56-place stable was added in 1880, and around 1900 the site held some 150 horses.

The facility reflects how horses remain part of French rural traditions and everyday work, with visible breeding practices and training methods that connect to local heritage. Walking through the grounds shows how animals and people interact in this working environment and what role horsemanship holds in regional life.

Since 2005 the site is no longer freely accessible: visits are guided, and the stud also opens for themed events at Easter, the European Heritage Days and Halloween, plus three equestrian shows each year in summer, October and at Christmas. The buildings stand on the site of Cluny Abbey, in the shadow of the Eau-Bénite bell tower.

The stud's buildings were raised between 1814 and 1880 on the foundations of Cluny Abbey, using stone taken from its demolition after the French Revolution. The horses were first kept in the Saint-Hugues stables before moving to the new site in 1820, in the shadow of the Eau-Bénite bell tower.
