Haras National du Lion d'Angers (Et Picnic)











Today with my AFS chapter we visited the Haras National horse ...place? "Stud farm". My reigion of France (Maine et Loire) is very famous for its wonderful amazing horses and this place is the best in the country for horses. Infact the lovely guy pictured above (Which Chloe, Adrianna and I named Jaques) would sell for around 350,000 euro. Its also the countries hub of horse insemination. Which our guide gave us a very.. Intimate description of. Nice. Its set on 106 acres with neumerous châteaus . Very tranquil, like something out of a period film. I also learnt the french word for Squirel .
Ecureuil
Its impossible to pronounce and I think I gave Louis one of the french boys atleast 5 minutes of entertainment when we werent being shown side saddles or the what-not.


After our visit everybody got together for a picnic to meet and greet each others host families and some of the kids that had arrived late. Generally to bond with each other in the French woods.


However we had to drive there and didnt realise this as we were sitting on the hill and saw Jacka drive by us in the car.
