SMALL
GAME HUNTING:
The
estate offers a wide variety of game birds: pheasants (common, black and
reeves), grey and red partridges, and migratory birds such as woodcocks
and pigeons. Some of the birds are raised on the domain itself, in
really vast enclosures to make sure they stay as wild as possible. The
estate's hounds are available by the day to accompany your party, but
you can also hunt with your own dogs. The
small game is usually hunted with pointers, but can also be hunted with
beaters or from stands if desired. You can hunt alone or in a group,
with a gamekeeper to guide you.
Available
from September to March.
You
get here in the afternoon on day 1. We
share a welcome drink and canapés. We have dinner.
On
days 2 and 3, You drive to the domain in the morning, after
breakfast. Hunting starts
around 9:00 am. You have lunch at the lodge (cost included), then back

BIG
GAME & SMALL GAME HUNTING:
The
big game includes wild boars, roe-deers, brockets, stags, hinds and
fawns. They are raised on site, but naturally, so they are totally wild.
Be sure they will try to foil your every ruse, as they know every square
inch of the estate.
Safety
is maximised: big game hunting is done from 2 meters high shooting
hides. The game is flushed out of the woods by the pack of dogs or with
beaters and fox terriers, as you wish. The quality of the game and the
wide open firing lines insure that even difficult shots can be executed
in the safest possible conditions.
You
also have the possibility to stalk your chosen beast for the trophy of a
lifetime with your rifle or bow.
