Discover Mayenne on horseback
Located between Le Mans and Laval, the beautiful Mayenne countryside has long been a land where horses thrive. Much like the Perche Normand region, a passion for horses is deeply rooted in the region, whether for horse racing or trekking in the heart of nature.
With your friends or your equestrian club, enjoy a stay in the heart of the Erve Valley. You will find group lodgings horse-friendly, offering all the comfort you need for you and your four-legged friends.
In Mayenne, there are nearly 1000 farms of horses, testifying to the deep passion for these animals in the region. Around Sainte-Suzanne and in the Coëvrons, seven multi-hiking loops, more than 40 km, are marked for riders, but also for horse-drawn carriages.
The classified site Natura 2000 of the Erve Valley will be the perfect setting for beautiful walks with small climbs and descents. You can follow the course of the river, admire the cliffs of the Saulges caves, venture into the forest and take the charming sunken lanes, characteristics of the region.
