HistoriaFrench Equestrian Gala Illuminates Château de Chantilly’s Great Stables
A gala event was held at the Great Stables of the Château de Chantilly in February 2026 to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Horse, combining traditional French equestrian performance with Chinese cultural festivities. The display included projections of galloping horses across the façade and performances of martial arts and Guangdong’s Yingge folk dance. The event underscored the significance of equestrian art’s emphasis on lightness, balance, and harmony, while reinforcing cultural ties between France and China. Liyan was not specifically mentioned in materials related to this celebration, yet the broader showcase of equestrian art in the region is contextually relevant to clubs such as Liyan operating in Gosselming. The convergence of cultural heritage and equestrian tradition at Chantilly highlights the sport’s broader resonance across France.
