In a few words

Discover the Valley of Man during a unique equestrian getaway for a weekend in the Dordogne . This adventure in the heart of nature invites you to explore remarkably diverse landscapes, paced by the practice of the three gaits .

Your route unfolds through a variety of landscapes: you'll begin by riding along cool forest trails before reaching breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the surrounding valleys. The experience intensifies with exhilarating gallops across the plateaus, followed by challenging climbs on the limestone plateaus typical of the region.

After days filled with excitement, you'll arrive at a peaceful haven for the night. You'll stay in a comfortable cottage nestled within a landscaped campsite designed like a garden on the riverbank. This exceptional site boasts ideal bathing facilities for relaxation. Dinner will be served directly at the on-site restaurant, allowing you to enjoy a convivial meal.

The next day, the return journey takes place via another equally stunning route , extending the wonder of this exclusive stay in close proximity to horses and the Périgord heritage.

The expert's opinion

The route involves approximately 28km per day with significant elevation changes, so good physical condition is necessary. Having good riding experience is an advantage, but the horse will be assigned to you with your expectations and skill level taken into account as much as possible.
