Your hosts: Blanche & François

François is passionate about board sports and horse riding. He is a former mechanical engineer who retrained as an agricultural engineer. In 1997, he bought a former mixed arable and livestock farm and, over the years, transformed it into a true riding school. He created a paradise for horses, with several indoor riding arenas and equestrian facilities. Today, he and Blanche warmly welcome you to share their passion for horses, nature, and a simple way of life.
