Equestrianism
Explore the Côte d'Amour on horseback while admiring the ocean. Make the most of the town's bridle paths – it’s so well suited to horses. Introduce children to equestrian sports with a qualified instructor. Pony rides, excursions, courses for beginners and advanced riders, not to mention stables to rent so you can bring your own horse on holiday... La Baule appeals as much to horses as riders. You’ll love getting out in the fresh morning or mild evening air by the sea, as well as attending spectacular equestrian events like the well-known Jumping International at the Stade François André.
