Christmas equestrian show – Désirée

Don’t miss our new Christmas Show by the Compagnie Équestre at the Château de Chantilly from 2 December 2023 to 7 January 2024!

“Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who, though very much in love, lacked an heir to make their happiness complete. Then, one day, the queen hears of a mysterious spring hidden deep in a forest – the Fountain of Wishes. She visits the fountain, her wish is granted, and Princess Désirée is born! Only when they learn of the Fountain Fairy’s curse does their joy again turn to sorrow: Désirée must never see daylight before her eighteenth birthday!

Fortunately for Désirée, three benevolent fairies watch over her and build her a palace of marble, diamonds, and emeralds brightly lit by a thousand candles. And when a nursemaid comes to help with her two daughters, Giroflée and Longue Épine, everyone is relieved that Désirée is in safe hands… Or is she?”

Prouesses, quadrilles, courbettes, vaulting, acrobatics, burlesque acts… This thrilling equestrian Christmas tale is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
