Description: 

21km trail including 6 on the beach and 15 in the forest.

You will discover the national forest of La Barre de Monts by simply taking the riding paths. This forest has a very distinctive feature: it is on the dune so there are only sand trails.

You will not only meet deer, but also wild boar, which is not always your horse's cup of tea.

And if the time and tides permit, you are more than welcome to enjoy a quick gallop on the beach.

Please show respect to others, including sand yachts.

Parking is available at La Parée Grollier (near the water treatment plant) or in front of the summer camps near the Plage de la Bergère beach.
