The Forest goes western
A new series of open-air evenings at the Haras du Forest, and for this first edition, it’s a saloon vibe. DJ sets, shooter bar, Far West decor, VIP area, and cowboy boots galore: all in an ambiance that smells of dust and whiskey, my lonesome cowboy. From 3 PM to 10 PM, dance in the sun like in a western (but with better cocktails than bourbon on the rocks).
