Le Domaine de Lausinie : a paradise in nature

Riding in Quercy Pays de Serres, the change of scenery is total! You dive into another universe, in the middle of nature, where only tranquility reigns ... In this part of Tarn-et-Garonne, everything aspires to appeasement: small villages and their stone houses, with many corners of nature preserved...

Beautiful path to enjoy

As soon as you arrived at the Domaine de Lausinie, you will be welcomed by the horses, along the way. The owner of the place is called Alexandre Daumerie, he will immediately put you at ease, his passion and his love for horses are communicative!

He will be happy to share his knowledge of riding with you, and will adapt the stroll to your level. He is graduated as a Horse Riding instructor and has a very respectful approach towards the animal. You can also meet Emma Touzac, helping Alexandre manage the estate. Also on this place, there is a hostel specialized in grill over a wood fire (it's an opportunity to discover local products!) - duck breast or confit, steak steak on the embers, foie gras and mixed salads are on the menu ... treat yourself!

Share good moments

It is a family estate and you will find a very friendly atmosphere.

Alexandre et Emma : true lovers of horses

No need to be an informed rider! Alexandre will offer you a horse adapted to your level, even if you have never ride a horse. The walks always begin with the care of the horse, because they are enjoying 35 hectares of nature and love to roll in the grass, and the mud ...!

The first contact with your horse will be done with a brush. It is a very important thing for Alexandre, because it allows to weave a first link with the horse. You will also have the chance to sit on a western saddle that is very comfortable for long walks! Let's go Lucky Luke!

Meet the animal

After a few training ring tours to learn, or review the basics of horse riding, you will discover the magnificent paths of Quercy Pays de Serres!

A little tour du warm up

You will pass through this beautiful region of white stone, forests, hills and valleys. The walks can last from 1h to 3h according to the program planned in advance with Alexander. It is very funny to visit the village of Lacour on horseback, to turn around the church and listen to the stories of the country told by Alexandre and Emma ..

And if you want to extend your stay in this wonderful part of the Tarn-et-Garonne, we recommend the Gîtes Grand Pré and Roulotte de Roquecor, located 8 minutes from the Domaine de Lausinie. We suggest you spend an unusual night in a caravan or enjoy a cottage in an old stone barn typical of the region.
