‘Riding in the Camargue has been a lifelong goal. As a child, the images of the white horses galloping through the surf were part of my dreams. When I found this ride with Globetrotting, I knew I had to make it happen. The closer I got to the Camargue, the more dreamlike my adventures became. Driving down the tree-lined entrance to Le Mas Peint was akin to entering a haven! I met one of my fellow riders and then set about exploring the property. The first ride that afternoon told me my expectations were about to be exceeded. Rounding up the black bulls, galloping through the wetlands on a horse that responded to my every cue was… I lose adjectives here! The other riders were delightful; our hosts, Frederic and Clemence, Bon, and staff were all lovely and laid-back. Sleep came easily to me there. The days were filled with incredible scenery, a fabulous picnic on the beach, beautiful birds, cultural experiences, and so much more. What more can I say? This is a ride that MUST be experienced to be believed, as, considering the geography, the breed of horses, and the culture, there cannot be another like it anywhere. I would do this ride again in a heartbeat!’
