Set out to discover the three iconic bays of the Picardy and Opal Coasts during this five-day experiential journey in Henson Land!

Accompanied by Henson horses, you will set out to discover Picardy’s culture—spanning both its monuments and its cuisine—and traverse the finest landscapes along this stretch of coastline and its magnificent hinterland.

Several wellness workshops (yoga, sophrology) will allow you to relax during your stay.

You can find the full itinerary for this experiential trip at the bottom of the page.

Useful information :

Please bring your own riding gear (boots, helmet, etc.). This trip is designed to be as contemplative as possible, yet it still requires an advanced level of riding proficiency. Overnight stays in guesthouses and hotels are included in the package.
