Across time, Etoile de Pompadour’s picturesque scenery and lake have enchanted many. In the Middle Ages the domain’s grounds were along the route of “Richard Coeur de Lion”. Legend has it that one day Richard the Lionheart went on a long solitary walk and discovered the lake within the Domain. The setting became his private haven and getaway. Later in the 18th century, Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV’s mistress, escaped from the intrigue of the court by retreating to her residence in Pompadour. While she was there, Louis XV visited her. It is said that their long rides took them across the domain’s land. On one of Napoléon Bonaparte’s visits to the Imperial Stud Farm (now the National Stud Farm or Haras National de Pompadour) in the 19th century, an unexpected encounter occurred. Napoléon came across a beautiful white stallion. He sent his men to capture the horse for breeding and the pursuit brought them to the domain.
