The Vendôme region offers a variety of looped circuits, perfect for horseback or carriage excursions. These itineraries allow riders and drivers to discover the region’s landscapes and rich heritage, whether for a day trip or an extended getaway.

Each circuit invites you to explore the emblematic sites and diverse panoramas of the Vendôme region, from the Perche hills to the picturesque Loir valley.

Equestrian centers certified by the Fédération Française d’Équitation, and recognized as “equestrian tourism centers”, specialize in the practice of horseback riding in the heart of nature. They guarantee high-quality services with certified guides.

New for 2024!

The Communauté d’Agglomération Territoires Vendômois has set up a number of equestrian circuits, following carefully designed itineraries to serve local equestrian infrastructures. These routes invite you to explore tourist sites as well as places of natural, cultural or architectural interest, while taking a respectful approach to the environment.

These routes, accessible to both riders and carriage drivers, are based on specific themes:

Circuit 1 « La Vallée du Loir… à cheval, troglodytes et patrimoine » (55 km – 3 days).

Circuit 2 « Entre Loir et Braye… à cheval, la nature » (52 km – 3 days).

Find out more about these two courses here.
