The Racecourse of the Plage can be found on the coast just an hour away from the front door.

The valley location also lends itself to peaceful hacking.
There is turnout space for up to 60 horses; the site is currently run as a stud. We could imagine a cross-country course looking pretty at home here, too.
The current owners have fully equipped the yard for the breeding of top-level endurance horses. At present there 30 separate paddocks with electric fence, water access and shelter.
There are 19 stables in total, split between two yards. The high-quality indoor timber stables are spacious. There is a tack room and storage space at one end of the barn.
There are more loose boxes outside. They overlook a concrete yard but are protected from the sun.
As well as the gallop track, there is a circle sand lunging pen for training or loose schooling…
…as well as an oval horse walker with space for eight horses.
The house is a typical Southern French home of honey coloured stone with green shutters with two bedrooms and a beautiful covered dining patio.
The traditional decor includes exposed walls, tiled flooring and wooden beams, as well as open views across the countryside and gardens. There is also accommodation for grooms and staff.
