Apresentação geral
Lexington and Bluegrass Country
Haras, limestone hills and equestrian culture in the heart of Kentucky.
The discovery of Lexington and Bluegrass Country is centred around Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland and Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Nature and landscape
Kentucky Horse Park
The Kentucky Horse Park gathers competition, breeding and discovery around a historical relationship with the horse. Between alleys, arenas and educational spaces, one perceives the central place of the animal in the local imagination, with demonstrations that show both the technique and the daily gesture.
Place indismissible
Keeneland
In Lexington, Keeneland brings together the elegance of the stands, the activity of the stables and the highly coded show of purebred races. The days of the meeting, the lawn, paddocks and bets make up a social scene as much as a sporting event. Off-racing sales and training are reminiscent of the horse's weight in Bluegrass.
Place indismissible
Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate
Ashland revives a large residence linked to Henry Clay's political trajectory and his historic southern anchor. The buildings and their surroundings give a concrete vision of the rural economy of the past, between agricultural work, domestic know-how and aristocratic uses of the plantation.
