• Many unmarked paths have been created, in coordination with the FFCT opened to all users (cars included).
• Many unmarked trails for bikes, on forest roads and stony roads are also available.

Horse riding

On horseback or in a carriage, different ways to approach and observe the countryside and its wild inhabitants. Step into the stirrup or in a carriage with a driver guide, are different ways to discover equestrian pleasures.

• A carriage is probably a good method if you wish to discover without effort the woodland ways. A guide will recount with pleasure the legends of the Templars.
• If you are a beginner, more sportier or an experienced rider, you can get further information from the addresses below.
