The Gala Dinner will take place in “Haras de Jardy"
Le Pavillon de Jardy - Paris Country Club
Located just 10 minutes from Paris, the Haras de Jardy, France's leading equestrian center, is an outstanding example of the historical, natural and sporting heritage of the Hauts de Seine region.
A place with character
Jardy used to be all about woods. In 1120, a small monastery was established here and cultivated the land, which was used by a large farm until the end of the 19th century.
In 1891, Edmond Blanc, a politician and horse enthusiast, bought the land and had 115 boxes, 10 stalls, a riding arena and a birthing room built. The story of the famous Haras de Jardy, later owned by Marcel Boussac, was about to begin. Its magnificent grounds, 75 hectares of meadows and woods, and century-old stables form
the natural and prestigious backdrop to the “Pavillon de Jardy”. Ideally located on the esplanade of the Grand Manège, the Pavillon de Jardy blends harmoniously into the heart of the Haras: its unique Eiffel-style architecture.
For both The Excursion and The Gala Dinner: the eight buses will ensure the participants' return on the campus or the RER Le Guichet station.
The social events are included in the accompanying persons’ registration.
