Saint-Crespin is the original Aga Khan Stud and is used as a private stud for the Aga Khan mares. It neighbours the Haras de Bonneval and is set in approximately 185 hectares of rolling Normandy landscape. Despite such a tranquil rural setting, there is a veterinary clinic complete with surgery just 5 minutes away.

Traditional Norman architecture at Saint-Crespin

As well as the traditional Norman architecture of timber panelled buildings, another major aesthetic feature of Saint-Crespin is the white fencing surrounding each field. The criss cross pattern of these fences offers spectacular views across the Auge valley. Recently a 20 box barn and new facilities for access throughout the farm have been built. All development work at Bonneval and St Crespin has been undertaken with due regard for their rustic setting in the Pays d’Auge, preserving where possible the architectural heritage of the area.
