Haras national de Compiègne, National horse breeding center in Compiègne, France.

The Haras national de Compiègne occupied the former Grandes Écuries du Roi of the Château de Compiègne, built in 1738 when Louis XV rebuilt the palace. The stables could hold 272 horses. The stud was installed there in 1875 and specialised in the Boulonnais and Trait du Nord draft breeds.

The Grandes Écuries du Roi, built in 1738 when Louis XV rebuilt the Château de Compiègne, housed the stud from 1875 with stalls for 272 horses. The IFCE put the site up for sale in 2016, and the last box tenants had to leave before September 2016. The Compiègne agglomeration (ARC) bought it, and a hotel project was under discussion.

The stud was known for safeguarding two threatened draft breeds, the Boulonnais and the Trait du Nord, and it hosted the Route du Poisson every two years, a relay event linking fishing ports to Paris. Visitors could watch these heavy horses in the stables of the former royal Grandes Écuries.

The stud is only open to visitors during the summer months, so time a visit accordingly. It occupies the former Grandes Écuries du Roi beside the Château de Compiègne, built in 1738 with stalls for 272 horses. The site was put up for sale in February 2016 and its last box tenants had to leave before September 2016, so check current access before travelling.
