Dusk reflected on the Channel
The ride is timed for the beginning of sunset, when the sky’s colors can be seen reflected on the sea — a principal visual reward of the outing.
Three gaits along the shore
This is a balade aux trois allures — riders move at walk, trot and canter along coastal tracks and beaches, spending roughly two to two and a half hours in the saddle.
Notre mythique balade crépusculaire…au format XL

How the evening unfolds
