ABOUT US

Ride in France has been created by Sabine and Thomas Grataloup, two French horse lovers, who also created a familly, but this is another story !

In 1998, they created Absolu Voyages, a French travel agency dedicated to nature and traditions discovery tours, and horse riding tours all over the world through the brand Randocheval.

Randocheval is now the n°1 in riding tours for French riders all over the world, and we won the "Challenge du Nouvel Entrepreneur du Tourisme" (Prize for new Entrepreneurs in Tourism) in 1999. This prize is very important to us, as it is delivered by the APS, the organism which provides financial guaranty for travel agencies in France.

Therefore, this prize is rewarding both our quality and our financial safety : our travel agent State license is LI 03809001, and our IATA license (license to print flight tickets) is 20245652.

We have been riding all over the world, and now, with Ride in France, we want to enable riders from all over the world to discover the rich landscapes, riding culture and... cuisine of France !!!

France is our country, horses are our passion, and we have been riding in all the regions of France for about 30 years...

We have selected the nicest rides, the ones that you will remember all your life long. There is a ride for everyone : relais and castles rides, rides in wine regions, rides in Provence, rides for beginners... We can also provide special car rental rates, and arrange a visit in different regions with castles accomodation, wea water spa stays, a tour in Paris, or other regions of France, before or after tour ride (see our "after your ride" proposals).

We are looking forward to riding with you soon !
