For your clients, your partners, your family: a driven boar and stag day in the forest, a day of driven birds, a stay of a few days at a country house. The day is reserved for your party alone; we choose the estate with you, handle the paperwork and arrange everything around it, from the chauffeur or the jet to dinner.
A fine day's hunting depends on many things you never see in the morning: a well-kept estate, an organiser who is strict about safety, licences in order, guests expected and placed, and a table laid for your party alone at lunch. Whether it is a single private day or a hunting trip in France over several days, that whole picture is what we take on.
We work with partner estates and organisers in France, chosen for the quality of their ground, their hospitality and their standards on safety. The Sologne, one of the country's great private hunting regions, and estates within easy reach of Paris, France, are at the heart of most requests; other regions come in depending on the quarry, the season and the number of guns.
TGZ arranges private days only: we do not sell single places on a shared driven day. Every day starts with a conversation: the quarry, the date, your guns, the guests who won't shoot, the level of hospitality you expect. We then tell you what is possible, within the rules the French authorities set each year, before you commit to anything.
Those who host, and those they wish to host
You want a day handled from start to finish, with a line of guns you choose yourself and nothing left to sort out on the ground.
A private day for clients, investors or a board, prepared with the discretion a business relationship requires.
Several generations, guns and guests who don't shoot, gathered on a reserved estate for a day or a weekend.
You are coming from London, Geneva, the Gulf or New York with your own licence: we explain the formalities and arrange the trip, from arrival to departure.
Six concrete situations clients entrust to us. For each one, we choose the right partner, check what is possible and arrange the day for your party alone.
A morning in the forest on ground reserved for your party, pegs set along the woodland edge, beaters and dogs working through the cover: a driven boar and stag day is lived in calm and concentration, with everyone in high-visibility clothing.
Your line of guns along a wood, a loader beside anyone who wants one, the beaters in the distance, the dogs waiting to retrieve: a game shooting day where the quality of the birds and the care of the ground matter more than numbers.
A clay shooting introduction led by a qualified instructor, a place beside a gun at the peg, a walk with the dogs: each guest is expected and looked after, within the safety rules.
A table laid for your party alone in a room of the estate or a lodge among the trees, a fire in the hearth, seasonal dishes and chosen wines: the moment when guns and guests come together.
A country house the night before, a chauffeur from Paris, a jet to a nearby airfield from Monaco, London or Geneva: the day begins long before the estate, and we take care of every step.
For a client, a business partner or someone close: a private day prepared for them and their guests, on an estate chosen for their experience, with complete discretion. If they don't shoot, a coached clay shooting introduction makes an equally fitting gift.
One method, one point of contact
We choose the ground according to the quarry, the guns' experience and the guests attending, with partners whose management and safety standards we know. We do not put them on display.
Your guests, your dates and the setting of the day stay between you and us. Nothing is shared without your consent, before or after.
Validated licence, insurance, travelling with firearms, accommodation, chauffeur, jet, dinner: we coordinate what comes before and after the shoot, for each of your guests.
One person follows your request from the first conversation to the journey home, and stays reachable throughout the day.
Tell us about the experience you have in mind. A dedicated concierge will return with confirmable options tailored to your priorities.
To shoot, yes: you need a hunting licence validated in France for the season or for a few days, together with hunting liability insurance. If you live outside France and hold a hunting licence from your own country, it can be validated in France for nine days or for three days, subject to the approval of the relevant federation. We help you with these steps, including how to travel with your guns.
A clay shooting introduction led by an instructor at an affiliated club, a place beside a gun at the peg, wearing high-visibility clothing on a driven big game day, and of course lunch. We shape the day so that everyone has a place in it.
Yes, and it is a well-judged gesture for a client, a partner or someone close: a private day, prepared with you discreetly, for them and their guests. If the recipient shoots, they will need their own validated licence; if not, a clay shooting introduction or a place beside a gun at the peg makes an equally successful gift.
We arrange private days only, each quoted individually after a first conversation. The budget depends on the estate, the quarry, the number of guns, the hospitality and the stay around the day: accommodation, chauffeur, flights. Our guide to the cost of a hunting day sets out the prices the market charges and what makes them up.
Hunting dates are set every year by prefectoral order, department by department, and we build each day within that framework. Formalities and the most sought-after dates take time: we recommend contacting us several weeks before the date you have in mind.
Yes. A chauffeur from Paris, a jet from Monaco, London, Geneva or the Gulf, a hotel or country house the night before: we coordinate each guest's journey so the day begins without any rush.
A few lines are enough: the quarry, the period, the number of guns and guests. We reply personally and in confidence, with a first view and clear options.
