The Domaine des Garennes makes a fine central location to explore a charming region on horseback in France. A wonderful family or individual riding holiday option with comfortable rooms, warm hospitality, excellent food, squash and tennis courts and a swimming pool.
This is a family farm set in an attractive region of oak forests and cultivated fields with many well known historical sites nearby, and is an exceptionally good value. Take advantage of the offer to join this horseback riding trip in France.
Have breakfast at about 8:30am, then go and get the horses from the field. Groom and tack to ride in the surrounding area.
One ride will be to Nadaillac, a very pretty typical French village. Nadaillac has an old church, a tour where the Black Prince (son of Edward III) stayed, weapons from Richard Lionshart and more beautiful things. Another morning ride will take you to St Bonnet on top of a hill, which has a Roman church and several ancient houses, beautifully restored. Ride to "les trois éveques" a place where 3 counties, 3 regions, 3 municipalities and 3 dioceses come together with an old Roman path. The rides travel through the forest with old oak - and chestnut trees, where you won't meet anybody else.
Get back at about 12:30-1pm, take care of the horses and bring them back to their field. Then have lunch and in the afternoon you can swim, relax, play tennis or hike. If her schedule allows, your hostess may take you by car to visit nearby points of interest like Sarlat or Rocamadour.

Our host and the cook were just fantastic. The food and the hospitality were extraordinary and they were very helpful about suggesting interesting places to visit in the area. Everyone was helpful and made us feel very much at home, and the pool was delightful. We enjoyed the experience very much.
