The expert's opinion

Crossing the bay with a specialist guide usually takes place from mid-April onwards, but may sometimes be cancelled depending on weather conditions (high tides/storms): only the guide can make the decision at least two days before departure. Don't worry, a beautiful day in the bay near the Sainte Anne Chapel is just as enjoyable: the stable sandy ground is perfect for free-roaming gallops!

An exceptional stay in September 2026. Our guide, Lou, was very kind and dedicated. The horses were magnificent, well-behaved, and treated with love. The gallops in the bay were outstanding. A bonus: hearty and delicious meals (almost always at a restaurant, included in the price of the stay). My only regret: that it was already over!

The trip was very well organized: they picked us up by train if needed, provided meals at the restaurant and full breakfasts at the gîte, and offered cereal bars and water for the rides. No complaints whatsoever, the organization was perfect! The horses were in excellent condition and well-behaved. If a horse was injured or tired, it didn't participate in the ride. The bay guide, Daniel, was simply fantastic! Saturday's ride was a bit challenging, but it was well worth it. The scenery was magnificent. I was a little disappointed with Sunday's ride, which took place in the forest and countryside. I would have preferred to return to the bay or the pastures. Overall, the trip was truly excellent value for money and lived up to the description. It was by far the best horseback riding trip! Thank you for the experience.

A truly wonderful experience! Crossing the bay was magical, with exhilarating gallops. The horses were fantastic, and our guide Noa was amazing! The first day was very intense (10 hours in the saddle), physically demanding, but totally worth it!!

If this is your first horseback riding trip, regardless of your skill level, this isn't for you! Expect over 10 hours in the saddle on the first day in full sun. However, the staff at the center are fantastic, the horses are incredible, and the scenery is magnificent! You just need to be extremely fit to enjoy it.

Fantastic weekend with the Irish Cobs of La Fourcheraie! Saturday was a very active day (between 8 and 10 hours in the saddle), but the gallop across the bay was well worth it! Sunday was a more relaxed day, perfect for enjoying the scenery.

The weekend went very well, with two very different days of riding. Saturday was very intense and sporty. We started early to prepare the horses and set off towards Mont Saint Michel around 7:30 am. Crossing the sands with Daniel was incredible. On Sunday, we did some impressive climbs and descents. The food was excellent.
