What to expect
You'll board a traditional carriage and spend two hours moving through the Luberon's quieter corners—vineyards, stone walls, wildflower margins, and occasional farmsteads. The pace is easy and conversational; Alexandre shares details about the region's ecology and villages without overwhelming the moment. Bring a light layer as mornings and evenings cool down. The route stays on established paths and country roads, so expect some dust but no rough terrain. This isn't a thrill ride; it's countryside storytelling from a seat that moves at horse speed.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection. Carriage rocks gently but isn't bumpy. Prams and wheelchairs are accommodated; confirm on booking. Service animals welcome. All fitness levels cope fine since you're seated the whole time. Best in cooler months—summer heat affects horses.
