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…

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!
