Take the reins of the castle

At the edge of the forest, in the heart of a large wooded park, stands the Château de Belfort, a place of character that houses the Saint-Médard sports village and its equestrian center. Our instructors welcome you with family or friends every day of the year to do pony baptisms, an introduction to classical horseback riding or even discover equestrian aerobatics.

In this natural setting of 12 hectares, the castle of Belfort and its park are home to quality facilities with its 5 horse riding careers, its merry-go-round and its 6 ha cross. With direct access to the forest, the sports village also has four rooms in the castle and a club house completely renovated in 2022. During the summer, tipis and a circus tent are set up in the park of the castle to welcome young people aged 6 to 17 in colonies as well as extraordinary shows. When fantasy takes over the equestrian world!
