Stud farm in Saint Lô

The Haras National de Saint-Lô in Normandy is a horse stud farm set just outside the centre of the town. Built in 1806, the magnificent stables have a very distinctive and rather elegant exterior. The majority of the stables were destroyed during the bombings which St Lô endured during the second world war. Around 95% of the town was also destroyed. The stables were rebuilt in the original style and now breed three types of horses. Information about the opening times and guided tours are available at www.polhippiquestlo.fr
