Promenade a Cheval Chez Elise
About
Promenade à Cheval Chez Elise invites visitors to explore the breathtaking Camargue countryside on horseback. Departing from the charming town of Saintes‑Maries‑de‑la‑Mer, the rides cover a mix of scenic marshlands, rice fields, and wildlife-rich plains, giving riders an intimate encounter with the region’s iconic bulls, wild birds, and salt‑marsh flora. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced horseman, the tours are tailored to suit all levels, with groups of up to eight people and private options for up to fourteen. All guides are licensed and passionate locals with over thirty years of riding experience, ensuring a safe and memorable adventure. Rides run from mid‑February to mid‑November, with paddies best enjoyed during late spring to early autumn when the weather is mild and the Camargue is in full bloom. Reservations are required and highly recommended, especially during peak summer months, and can be made through the official booking form on the site. With a range of options from a quick fifteen‑minute pony ride for children to a full six‑hour day, there’s a perfect adventure for every visitor looking to immerse themselves in one of France’s most unique natural landscapes.
