Equestrian Academy of Versailles
Description
Founded in 2003 by Bartabas at the Great Stables of the Palace of Versailles, the Versailles Equestrian Academy is a one-of-a-kind ballet company, built on both the transmission of knowledge and the art of performance.
Within the walls that once housed the steeds of King Louis XIV, the Equestrian Academy now brings together around thirty horses, combining equestrian and artistic activities, making it a renowned institution.
In the Riding Hall of the Château de Versailles’ Great Stables, the Academy presents “La Voie de l’écuyère”, choreographed by Bartabas and embodying the spirit of this company-school. Lasting one hour, this performance is not merely a dressage set to music, but a poetic representation of the learning journey between rider and horse.
Dates & times:
From February 21, 2024, every Saturday (6 p.m.) and Sunday (3 p.m.), as well as Wednesdays during school holidays (except summer) at 3 p.m.
Information:
Performance lasts 1 hour. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Free visit of the stables after the show for ticket holders.
