Horseback riding
in the Gardens of the Château

Louis XVI loved to hunt on horseback and Marie-Antoinette revolutionised horse riding for women by sitting astride the horse, masculine-style. Horse riding has always been an important part of life at the Palace.

Bring the equestrian passion of the French Royal Court back to life with a two-hour horse ride, suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. Like the King or Queen, you’ll trot along the hunting lanes with a spectacular view of the Grand Canal. You can explore in total confidence under the watchful eye of an expert horseman, passionate about Versailles.
