    • Breakfast included
    • Lunch included
    • Dinner included

    Meet at 9:00 AM at the equestrian center to get acquainted with the team and the group. Once in the saddle, you'll set off through the rolling countryside of the Charolais region, typical of the area with its well-kept hedgerows, small beech groves, and pastures grazed by the famous Charolais cattle. This first ride will be punctuated by a few pleasant canters on varied trails. Along the way, you'll see vineyards, three restored wash houses, and a mysterious bell tower known as "Les Blancs," whose history will be shared by your guide during the picnic lunch. This break takes place in a peaceful setting, perfect for sharing stories about Oye and its local legends. In the afternoon, you'll continue your journey towards Amanzé, a village steeped in history, whose origins date back to the 12th century. You'll discover its 19th-century church, built on the remains of a Romanesque building, as well as a former Renaissance manor house, once the Intendants' Hotel. The day ends at a farm inn located in the heart of a former castle, where you'll spend the night.

Note

The program will be adapted to weather conditions, with the first day spent either more on the plains or closer to the forests in order to protect both horses and riders.
