Bois de Beaurepaire is a guided horseback outing through the forest and countryside near Étretat that places equal weight on the ride itself and the care of the horse: you’ll spend roughly 2½ to 3 hours in the saddle, ride at varying paces, and take part in looking after your mount before and after the loop.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Forest tracks and open countryside near Étretat

The ride winds along trails through forest and across the surrounding countryside close to Étretat, offering a varied seat and footing as you move between wooded and open sections.

THE PACE

A rhythmic outing at three gaits

Guided by an expert, the group moves at multiple paces—built around the three gaits—so the ride is dynamic rather than a steady walk the whole way.

THE CONNECTION

Hands‑on care before and after the ride

The experience includes time to attend to your horse both before departure and after returning, giving riders a fuller connection to their mount beyond the time in the saddle.
