Le Touquet International Jumping - Equestrian Park May 2013

5/20/2013

0 Comments

 
Approximately 5 minutes from the villa by bicycle, le Touquet Equestrian Park, on 65 hectares, is one of the most beautiful complexes in France. It includes the equestrian centre, the racecourse and the grounds jumping.
It was completely renovated from 2009 to 2011 to serve as an advance base for the national teams preparing for the London Olympics.
From the 9th to the 12th of May 2013, a CSI 3* international show was held on grass, with 26 nations represented.
Amongst the many world class participants, the British started by being dominant, but Jérome Hurel, on Premier de Falaise, won the 1.5m Grand Prix. He was ahead of Abdelkébir Ouaddar (Quickly de Kreisker) and of Michel Robert (Oh d'Eole).
The weather was perfect for the event, and riders were loudly cheered by the large crown of connoisseurs.

    Hi, my name is Daniel.
    I lived in France, the US and the UK.
    My love affair with le Touquet started a long time ago, well before I met the local beauty, who was to become my wife.
    Our daughter was born in Cucq.
    Through this blog, I will share with you some of the multiple "je ne sais quoi" which make le Touquet so special, including photographs.
    If these posts make any of you want to go or return to this great resort (even without renting the villa :), I will not have wasted my time.
