Horse riding in Mayenne

After breakfast at around 8:30 am, each participant will be given his or her horse.

At 10:00 am, departure from the château for a 20 km ride through the peaceful Mayenne countryside, alternating between forest paths, sunken lanes and minor roads.
Lunch, in the form of a picnic prepared by our steward, precedes a visit to the archaeological site of Jublains, an ancient Gallo-Roman town. In the late afternoon, return on horseback to Château de Bourgon, where you will be invited to a candlelit dinner, preceded by a private tour of the château in the company of its passionate owners.

This is the perfect way to discover the region’s ancient history.

After breakfast at around 8.30 am, we leave the Moulin des Forges for a final loop of around 20 km on horseback.
The landscapes become undulating and wooded, with sunken paths winding through unspoilt nature, offering a walk that is as soothing as it is spectacular.
The magic happens as we approach Sainte-Suzanne, a perched medieval gem, listed as one of “France’s most beautiful villages”.

At around 12:30 pm, we stop for lunch at the restaurant in the very heart of the village, savouring local, family-style cuisine in an authentic setting.
The afternoon continues with a guided tour of the town, led by a passionate lecturer who immerses us in the stories and legends of this soul-filled place.

Return to the Moulin des Forges at around 4pm for a final moment of sharing among riders before departing.
A transfer to Laval SNCF station is provided for non-motorised riders.
