Haras national de Blois

The Haras national de Blois is a stud farm with traditional stone buildings, spacious stables, and training grounds for horse breeding and care. The facility manages breeding programs and maintains equipment and spaces dedicated to equestrian work.

Jules de La Morandière designed this facility in the 19th century as part of a national network of regional studs for horse breeding administration. It became one of France's official establishments for managing equestrian programs.

The stud farm preserves French equestrian traditions through regular demonstrations and training sessions that show how horses are cared for and managed. Visitors can watch trainers at work and see the daily routines of the stable staff.

The facility is accessible through guided tours where visitors can explore the stables and training areas. Regular demonstrations let you see how horses are worked with and managed throughout the day.

The facility focuses on preserving rare French horse breeds that would otherwise be at risk of disappearing. These breeding programs are critical for keeping these specific breeds alive.
