Ball-Trap Club De La Cerisaille is an elite shooting and hunting complex with over 50 years of history, located on 1,200 hectares of scenic terrain in Guigneville-sur-Essonne, France. It perfectly balances professional sports infrastructure with a welcoming family atmosphere, making it ideal for both beginners and world-class athletes. The club's key highlight is its unique natural landscape featuring open hills and deep woods that create highly complex, realistic target trajectories, expertly designed by the owner and European championship medalist Alain Dulary.
The facility's infrastructure and equipment are meticulously tailored to provide a premium sporting experience.
