Starting from Saint-Pair-sur-Mer , this two-day horseback riding tour takes you along the North Coast of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel , between Normandy's hedged farmland and sea spray . A sporty and scenic route, with Mont-Saint-Michel on the horizon, the true guiding thread of this getaway.
Reserved for experienced riders comfortable at all three gaits outdoors, this trip prioritizes a smooth and rhythmic experience, adapted to a small group of no more than 5 participants . The horses, raised in pastures year-round and living in a herd, are distinguished by their balance, generosity, and reliability, offering a dynamic and authentic riding experience.
After a day in the saddle, the evening stay takes place in a comfortable mobile home , with shared bedrooms, in a simple and friendly atmosphere. An intense equestrian immersion, close to the magnificent landscapes of the bay, to experience Normandy in a different way, between unspoiled nature and equestrian thrills.
