Horseback riding Pays De La Loire

The association In a Moulin offers you various actions to raise awareness of the environment and sustainable development. In the programme: the discovery, protection and recovery of endangered assets. For small and large, several activities to discover fully. For three years, on Wednesday and Saturday morning, small people will be able to get acquainted with donkeys and animals in the lower court. They will learn how to bring animals together, as well as the sensory links to weave with them, how to feed or caresser them. Ballades of donkeys are also part of the party giving participants the opportunity to love such gentle animals, which also make it possible to gain self-confidence and to take a different look at nature. As for the creative leisure workshop, it presents, in other respects, courses around the decoration of ecological interiors with the work of lime, paper, land… In a Moulin offering intelligent, eco-friendly leisure for the whole family in harmony with our environment.

45 minutes from Nantes and Saint-Nazaire, you enter here Les Pièces aux Oiseaux, a small farm bordered by chestnut trees. In the adjoining meadows, the donkeys of the herd await visitors and willingly lend themselves to the various activities on offer, whether they are guided hikes or asino-mediation workshops. Of different sizes, colours and characters, Charlot, Nutmeg, Anatole and their companions live all year round in herds. The potential of paths in the Guenrouët region, the calm of the canal from Nantes to Brest, the proximity of the Bernugat forest, and the incredible views around the wind turbines are all reasons to take the time, with family, friends, alone or with others, to go for a walk. It should be noted that the farm also offers animal mediation workshops, where people with disabilities or in difficulty establish a link with the donkeys in the herd.

The "Ferme du Chemin" is a farm-museum, a living testimonial where horses continue to press pears and apples. The eco-museum retraces the many facets of farming life in the past. Visitors will also discover a center for experimentation in animal traction, with the tools of today and tomorrow. The farm is also a center for equestrian tourism and a stopover with around 30 rooms. We organize long rides between Maine and Normandy, as well as mounted or harnessed strolls with a driver.
