A discovery of Normandy would be incomplete without a mention of this region's passion for horses.
Tourists are welcome to attend the numerous horse shows in Deauville, Caen, Lisieux, Rouen, Graignes, Alençon, Bagnoles de l'Orne, Argentan, Flers, Haras du Pin and Le Vaudreuil or visit the many horse breeding estates, of which the Haras du Pin and the Haras de Saint-Lô are the most exceptional.
There are stud farms and equestrian centres throughout Normandy and many of them cater to families and English speaking visitors, for you to organise horse-riding to suit whatever plans you have... whether it's for just a few hours gentle hacking in the forest in Eure, or crossing the Mont St Michel bay on horseback for a once in a lifetime experience, a few days touring along coastal paths and beaches of Cotentin or through the verdant slopes of the Suisse-Normande.

... a week of horse related events. Find the full programme on : www.equidays.com
