A very enjoyable ride. This equestrian experience, led by Lise, was fantastic. Rustic accommodation (I had a tent… bring your sleeping bag!). A very friendly group of 8 riders. Horses suited to the riders' level and expectations/desires. The picnics could be improved…

Very good trip, well organized. Only slight downside: we thought we would go to the beach as indicated, but it was impossible at this time of year in the region.

Fantastic stay with the horses! Tendresse is wonderful, I'm so glad I shared these moments with her and our amazing guide. The horses seem very happy and well-adjusted; they live in a pasture and in a herd. Although there weren't many gaits, I loved all the rides, my favorite being the one along the cliffs on the first evening. Our accommodation is close to the equestrian center. A minor drawback was the cleanliness of the rooms and the delays at breakfast in the morning. Also, I was expecting pastries, but there was only bread, fruit compote, and cereal. Thank you to the kind lady who welcomed us to the holiday village.

A fantastic weekend, with a wonderful guide, calm and well-behaved horses, and a relaxing setting! We had a car there, which was lucky; it would have been very difficult without it. There was a slight hiccup with the accommodation (no hot water the first night!), but our hosts reacted quickly to resolve the situation – thank you to them!

Fantastic stay in Etretat! Lise is a wonderful, passionate, and engaging riding guide. She loves horses and nature, and it shows. She's also very reassuring when needed. The rides are beautiful, with one small drawback: I sometimes found there was a bit too much road riding. The accommodation was adequate, but having a microwave available at all times would be preferable to make meals easier, especially on Friday evenings. A top-notch stay!
