Haras de Meautry

It is one of the most famous stud farms in France. The Haras de Meautry, formerly Meautrix, was created in 1875 by two brothers, Alphonse and Gustave de Rothschild, around a manor dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. At the time, the entire estate covered twelve hectares. Today, it covers almost one hundred hectares.
The manor house, the monumental gate and the roofs of the adjoining buildings have been listed as historical monuments since 1933. The garden was designed by Page Russel, a British gardener and landscaper.
Many remarkable horses are bred there, including some legendary champions, who won the prestigious Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Passed on to its descendants, this land is that of the Rothschild family's galloping stud and belongs to Edouard de Rothschild, President of France Galop.
The stables, then outbuildings of the manor, were given to the City of Touques by Baron Guy de Rothschild and were restored to be transformed into art studios, today the main component of the famous Touques Arts District.
