After nearly 20 years of running a renowned equestrian center recognized by the Belgian Equestrian Federation, we embarked on a new life adventure in 2013. Together with our daughter, Mélanie, we moved to the Tarn in the heart of Occitanie, a welcoming region that has preserved all of its authentic charm.
Our deep passion for horses remains at the heart of our lives. Some of our horses and ponies made the journey with us and are now part of the daily rhythm of the estate. They offer our guests unforgettable moments, whether through a gentle walk or a pony ride for the little ones.
Built in 1838 from beautiful white limestone, our house was once a wine farm home to sheep and goats. Since our arrival, we have renovated it with great care, respecting its original character and history.
The house sits in the center of a seven-hectare estate filled with boxwood, ancient oaks, and vast meadows where our horses graze. La Boissière borders the charming village of Andillac, known for its traditional dovecote and rolling vineyards. Just a short stroll away lies the Château-Musée du Cayla, the birthplace of writers Maurice and Eugénie de Guérin, a place steeped in history, culture, and poetry.
Around the house, a vast garden unfolds, offering a sense of profound stillness. While families can enjoy the football lawn, trampoline, and pétanque court, the true luxury of our seven hectares is the silence. Here, children find simple joys, from "secretly" picking raspberries to collecting fresh eggs for the breakfast table. Along with our vegetable garden and our gentle dogs, Twiks and Truffe, these moments define our authentic country life.
The large covered terrace is the soul of the estate, a place to gather overlooking the hills and pool. It offers cooling shade in summer and a cozy open fire in the cooler months. It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset, relax with a book, or enjoy a drink from the bar, whether a local Gaillac wine or a classic Belgian beer. .
During summer season, we have at any time of the day our pool available. All year round you can spend unforgettable moments of relaxation at the outdoor spa...
Here, the world feels far away, and time slows down to the sound of birdsong or the soft whinny of a horse drifting up from the valley...
