Cap Frehel Tonic Trail (2 days / 1 night / 2 days riding)
Day 1
Your equestrian adventure begins at 8:30 a.m. with hot drinks, an introduction to the team, and a briefing before you are assigned your horses.
You then set off towards Cap Fréhel, passing through Plurien, along the Templars’ Trail, by Saint-Sébastien Chapel and Château du Vau Rouault. Depending on the tides, you will then cross the Bay of Fresnaye before stopping for lunch.
In the afternoon, you follow coastal trails through heathland and heather, enjoying spectacular views of the pink sandstone cliffs of Cap d’Erquy and Cap Fréhel. Around 6 p.m., you return to the equestrian centre to freshen up, enjoy an aperitif and share a convivial dinner, before spending a unique night in a traditional yurt.
Day 2
You’ll saddle up around 10 a.m. and head towards Sables d’Or beach, before following the coastal trail overlooking Erquy and the magnificent beaches of Caroual and Saint-Pabu.
Around 12:30 p.m., you’ll arrive at Château de Bienassis for a lunch break, followed by a unique opportunity to enjoy some unforgettable gallops along the estate’s bridle paths. At around 2 p.m., you’ll set off again towards the equestrian centre, riding through the countryside and woodland areas while following the Islet River, with your return scheduled for around 5 p.m.
