Equestrian Centers are plentiful
in the Vaucluse, and coupled with the magnificent scenery, a day on
horseback makes for a delightful experience and a very intimate way
to see the countryside.
An hour's ride south finds you in
the Camargue, a flat semi aquatic region
that
boasts French Cowboys (Guardiens)
and a breed of smallish white horses used in the Equestrian centers.
However, you don't have to go that
far to find horseback riding. Just inside Sarrians on the west
side is the Bastide du
Grand Chêne,
a restored 17th century hotel which offers horseback riding.
Just go up the D52 out of town until you see the signs for the
Bastide in the direction of "les Gens d'Orange". Telephone:
