Comment
The Haras national d'Hennebont is one of five equestrian centers in the French region of Brittany. It was created in 1856 in Hennebont, Morbihan, around the former Abbey of La Joie, as a result of an exchange with the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Langonnet. Inaugurated by Napoleon III on August 15, 1858, it was listed as a historic monument in 1995.The Haras National d'Hennebont has a long tradition of public stallion breeding, acquiring and making available stallions, mainly of the Breton breed, to breeders in its district. This historic function gradually came to an end between 2007 and 2016, with the transition from state management to that of a mixed syndicate. The national equestrian society housed there, founded in 1964, will cease operations in 2019.
Now mainly devoted to tourism, the stud features a horse discovery area and a driving school, and organizes numerous shows and events throughout the year, including a Christmas market.
