Boutique countryside retreat with horses

Live with Horses in the Heart of Normandy

A private countryside retreat where nature, horses, and slow living come together.

Saint-Victor-d'Épine · Pays d'Ouche · Normandy, France

In the Pays d'Ouche — Normandy's green heart — our horse farm opens onto pasture, lanes, and sky. Arrive as you are; leave a little lighter.

Trails, meadows, and riding in the open air are the fabric of the day — not an add-on. Lessons and retreats follow a horse's pace, rooted in care for the animals and the land.

Seasonal Norman food and evenings in the gîte carry the same thread: honest meals, unhurried hours, and the quiet luxury of countryside and horses.

Notes from riders, families, and gîte guests.

With Birgit I discovered ethology and a gentler, commonsense way of teaching — a wonderful weekend; I can't wait to return.
Taulen
We loved the horses, lessons, rides, the gîte, and the generous meals. I'll be back — even winter was lovely.
Maria
Spacious for four adults, a well-equipped kitchen, peaceful countryside — the horses are treated like royalty. A wonderful stay with Birgit.
