Combining spectacular stunts, high-level dressage, and video projections, the show takes place in the historic stables of Marshal de Saxe, dating from the 18th century, in the heart of the Domaine national de Chambord.
The Chambord Equestrian Show offers an immersive dive into the heart of five centuries of history of the largest castle in the Loire Valley. Titled "Chambord, history on horseback", this unprecedented show was created in 2025 by the master of equestrian shows, Mario Luraschi, a legendary figure in the world of horses and cinema.
The voice of Jean Dujardin, Oscar-winning actor, accompanies spectators throughout this historical journey. His narration brings to life the illustrious figures who have shaped the history of Chambord, from the first stones laid by François I to the major events that have marked the estate.
The show features ten horses and eight riders embodying the emblematic figures of Chambord's history: François I, the visionary builder of the castle, Louis XIV, who had Molière perform there, Molière himself, and Marshal de Saxe, a military hero who received Chambord as a reward for his victories. The scenes follow one another in a sequence of spectacular stunts, high-level dressage, and video projections on a large screen.
