Equestrian destination
Your charming stopover in riding country, on the doorstep of the finest trails and the great stud farms.
The Upper Chevreuse Valley and the Rambouillet forest form one of the finest areas for trail riding in Île-de-France. From sandy bridleways winding beneath tall trees to wide unspoilt open spaces, this land lives to the rhythm of the horse.
Whether you are a long-distance rider on a trek, a carriage driver, or passing through for an event at the prestigious nearby equestrian centres, the Résidence Hôtel Les Ducs de Chevreuse is your ideal base. Our 1.5-hectare park guarantees calm and serenity, with direct access to the surrounding countryside.
For the rider: complete comfort after a day in the saddle
The aparthotel formula offers the flexibility every rider dreams of:
- Self-service laundry: high-performance washing machines and tumble dryers to clean riding breeches and saddle pads in no time.
- Private kitchenette: prepare a comforting meal whenever suits you, without the rigid hours of a traditional hotel restaurant.
- The breakfast of champions: delivered straight to your door, for an early start in the cool of dawn.
A strategic location for horse lovers
- Long-distance trekking: a comfortable stopover as you cross the Yvelines, on the riding circuits and loops of the Upper Chevreuse Valley Regional Nature Park.
- Partner stables: for riders without a horse, we work with local riding centres and stables to offer accompanied rides or private lessons, a few minutes from the residence.
- Events and competitions: accommodate your teams, riders, grooms or supporters during shows and competitions in the region (Rambouillet, the valley’s stables).
A welcome suited to riders’ logistics
- Large parking areas: our secure private car park takes large vehicles, horseboxes and horse lorries.
- Ground-floor apartments: to easily unload saddlebags, saddles and boots after an intensive day.
- Enclosed landscaped park: 15,000 m² of green space to relax and recharge in the fresh air, among the trees.
