Every year, since 1984, the Christmas shows at the Grandes Ecuries du Domaine de Chantilly give pride of place to traditional tales from our childhood and have been a recurring success. For this 32nd edition, horses and artists put themselves at the service of Charles Perrault's tale, Peau d'Âne: high school, learned horse riding, aerobatics, circus arts, acrobatics and original music are the ingredients of this Christmas 2016 show presented until 'on January 2, 2017.
These artists and horses, donkeys and ponies tell Donkey Skin in their own way.

This equestrian show for young and old sees the return under the dome of the Great Stables of the actor, former resident of the Comédie Française, Jacques Poix-Terrier (“Un prince Russe à Chantilly”, 2010) and Benjamin Grain, the favorite acrobat of the Horse Museum. They are accompanied by Laure Sinic, a wonderful trapeze artist and acrobat, who plays the Queen of the Fairies. The songs specially written for this show by François and Stéphane Corbin are performed by the artists, in particular by the rider Mathilde Pouteau, who plays the role of Donkey Skin.

A delight for horse lovers, but not only! and you can take the opportunity to visit the Castle, the Grandes Ecuries, the Park ... less than an hour from Paris.
