OUR STORY
Welcome to Cheval Escapes, located in the picturesque Manerbe Normandy. Here, guests can create lasting memories while engaging in our immersive horseback riding program and privately guided adventures. The charm of Normandy through exceptional activities and distinctive accommodations designed for comfort and relaxation. Join us for an unforgettable getaway that connects you with nature and each other.
Cheval Escapes was created from a love of retreats and thoughtfully curated experiences that invite you to slow down, reconnect, and feel present. I have always been drawn to places where time feels unhurried and where the experience is shaped as much by atmosphere as by activity.
This passion naturally blends with my family’s life around horses. We ride, care for them, and buy and sell them, with horses forming a central part of our everyday world. They are not an occasional pastime, but something deeply woven into how we live, host, and share the countryside with others.
Cheval Escapes brings these two worlds together. Set in the Normandy countryside, our retreats are intimate, calm, and carefully designed to adapt to each guest. Some come to ride and explore, others to rest, gather, and enjoy the setting. There is no pressure or expectation, only space to experience the retreat in your own way.
At its heart, Cheval Escapes is about opening our doors and sharing a way of life. Every stay is personal, unhurried, and grounded in warmth, simplicity, and genuine hospitality.
