The paths taken by this central loop are dedicated to riders and allow you to practice horseback riding in complete safety in the flamboyant and remarkable setting of the Coubre Forest.
Between the Atlantic forest and the beaches of the wild coast, this loop ride offers total immersion in the maritime atmospheres of the Arvert peninsula and the Bay of Bonne Anse. It will even take you to the foot of the majestic Coubre lighthouse. The sandy soils, passable all year round, offer optimal conditions for uphill hiking. Equestrian halts equipped with attachment bars are available at the starting points (parking along the RD 25 at the level of the forest line n°42 or at the edge of the RD 25 at the level of the Tranchée des Volcans).
The circuit is marked to equestrian standards, the marking marks affixed with paint on the trees are specific to horseback riding (orange color). They indicate the directions to follow or avoid (cross), the horizontal line is a milestone mark giving the route to follow. The marking is carried out in both directions. At the start of the circuits and when crossing large trenches, a green and white sign representing a “foot in the stirrup” indicates more visibly the direction to take.
Riders and hikers ensure that they behave respectfully of nature, existing equipment and other users, in accordance with the forest walker's charter. Courtesy is a guarantee of successful cohabitation and better security.
So practitioners:
– follow the marked paths which constitute the route
– respect forest property (fauna, flora, dunes and soil included)
– do not smoke in the forest
– do not leave any waste on the sites
For safety reasons, the use of equestrian circuits is completely prohibited on hunting days, namely every Monday and Thursday (except public holidays) from September 1 of year N to February 28 of year N+1 . For health and safety reasons, access to the beaches is regulated for this sector by a municipal decree.
