In a few words

Experience a unique equestrian adventure by accompanying the horses on their annual transhumance to the coast. This six-day horseback journey immerses you in the heart of romantic Brittany , amidst legends and exceptional heritage. From the edge of the Brocéliande forest and its pink schist rocks, your route winds its way to Bécherel , a town of character, before reaching the medieval streets and old port of Dinan .

The adventure continues with gourmet stops where buckwheat pancakes and salted caramel punctuate your days. Each evening, enjoy a complete escape thanks to unusual accommodations such as gypsy caravans, yurts, or charming old stables.

The highlight of this journey unfolds on the Emerald Coast . In Lancieux, the vast stretches of sand become your playground for exhilarating gallops at low tide and unique moments of connection while swimming with your horse . A bracing immersion in the sea air, between land and sea, ideal for nature lovers and those seeking freedom.

The highlights

  • Discovering Breton landscapes and culture
  • Beyond a hike, a transhumance
  • Typical Breton cuisine (caterer and restaurant) and unusual (and atypical) accommodation
