Hiking Pays De La Loire

In the footsteps of the artists who passed or stayed at the Croisic in the 19th and 20th centuries, you will follow in the footsteps of great names such as Eugène Boudin, Paul Signac, Maxime Maufra, Charles Jacques, Henri Le Sidaner, Jean-Émile Laboureur but also regional artists such as Émile Gautier, Émile Guillaume, Jack Cholet, Eugène-Jean Chapleau, Georges Lhermitte and many others. What holds the particular attention of the various painters passing through are the animation of the boats in the port, the sardines boats with coloured sails, the bustle during the auction sale or the traditional maritime scenes. The changing lights of the Traict, the wild coast and the ocean at any time of the day inspire artists. The reproductions of their paintings, made at the Croisic, are presented on desks facing the painted place, all along the two routes, the port and the wild coast. The first route, which runs from the cove of Les Rouleaux to the quay at Port Charly, runs through 15 colourful canvases with impressionist, pointillist or cubist accents. The second, from Castouillet to Crucifix Bay, testifies to the attraction of a still wild coast.

Horse in Bélinois offers horse and pony rides by level group. And for the walking riders, there's really something to be fun about. Choose the two-hour walk (at 30 €) and leave in the heart of the forest. You can ride in long stretches of sand in the middle of the pine trees at any time. For the less adventurous, there is also a carriage, towed by a percheron. The farm also offers pensions for horse owners, stay for groups and hikes in France (Oléron Island during summer, for example) and abroad (hiking in Morocco). All year round, there are courses on ponies and horses, discovery courses, address games, initiation to the aerobatic, the passage of the galops. Everything is possible!

Baptism as a coupling, a sports walk or a walk in carriage, the exit you choose will necessarily be successful. At the rhythm of the horses you will discover, for example, salt marshes… A pleasant way of discovering the whole family from the youngest to the greatest. Lovers of horses or not, you will enjoy walking in their company, relaxing, soothing and walking filled with joy and energy.
