L'Académie is happy to host your event...

Rent out the Royal Stables at the Château de Versailles.

Three proposals in an exceptional setting.

The "La Voie de l'Ecuyer" show
Choreographed by Bartabas, La Voie de l'Ecuyer evokes the Académie: learning and appropriating tradition and passing on expertise. Carrousel of the Lusitanians, sorraias with long reins, fencing on horseback and equestrian improvisations are performed to the sound of selected passages of music by Bach.

Training session, equestrian performance
This dressage session is performed by the Académie’s riders. The spectator is allowed into the intimacy of work sessions for riders and their mounts. The finesse, rigour and gentleness of training. Includes an Haute Ecole dressage and a fencing on horseback presentation followed by a scene from the show.

A visit of the Royal Stables
The Royal Stables at the Château de Versailles was finished by Jules Hardouin¬Mansart in 1683 and restored for the Académie du Spectacle Equestre by Patrick Bouchain in 2003.
