Outing Highlights
Long randonée with exhilarating gallops
Around 11:00 you set out for a long mounted randonnée that alternates sustained trots and fast gallops through open fields and coastal approaches, giving you sustained movement and pace over several hours.
Cliff-top lunch overlooking the sea
Midway through the day the route pauses for a free picnic at the top of the cliffs above the beach at Saint-Jouin-de-Bruneval, where the ocean panorama is the focal point of the outing.
Four hours in preserved, wind-swept nature
You spend roughly four hours in a raw, preserved landscape—between land and horizon—returning to the centre in the late afternoon for a quiet evening.
