Horseback riding vacations in France

Horse riding vacations in FranceHorseback vacations in France are a chance to indulge in the charms of this iconic country. Whether you are drawn to France by the chic boulevards of Paris and the impressive Palace of Versailles, the sparkling ski slopes of the Alps, the country allure of Provence, the fine wines of the Bordeaux region, France offers every kind of escape.

Hidden Trails bring together some of France’s most breathtaking horse riding holidays, covering some of the most beautiful locations. Castles in the Loire, Mediterranean hideaways, and culinary tours in Provence are but a selection of the French horse riding tours we have on offer.



Horse Riding in France



France has a long tradition of horse riding - the French term 'randonnée' was in fact the original definition for “riding tour”.

France has an extraordinary network of cross country trails, and endless opportunities for relaxation, fun and experiencing French culture.

Of course, French Cuisine is always highlight on our horse riding holiday agenda.

Hugely popular horse riding holidays in the Loire Valley offer horse riding amongst the grandiose Renaissance Castles of the region – with plenty of time for sightseeing and indulgence.

Provence offers an array of indulgent horse riding escapes, mixing fine food and riding with the glorious landscapes that inspired the likes of Cezanne.

Other lesser known regions have just as much to offer. Discover the unspoilt and rugged Pyrenees in the Pay Basque, or ride across miles of unspoilt sandy beaches in the Landes  on our Cote d'Argent rides.

Hidden Trails now offers a horse riding tour that explores the Bordeaux Wines & Castles. Bordeaux needs no introduction as a region famous for wines such as Lafite, Latour, Mouton, and Margaux. The wineries in the Medoc provide the frame for this winery-tour in the Bordeaux area, and offer many opportunities to taste the delectable wine of some very famous cellars. This is a riding tour for lovers of French culture.

Dordogne is where the "Perigord Noir" (the black Perigord), received its moniker from the spacious, dark oak forests. This is France out of a picture book. In addition to wine, you will become familiar with the cuisine of the region including goose liver paté, cheese of Rocamadour and, of course, the wines of Cahors.

One of the fastest pace rides can be found on our Morvan Ride in Burgundy.
