In Callian, Haras des Villards offers a chance to discover the landscapes of Pays de Fayence at the pace of horses and ponies. From paths near the GR49, rides cross Mediterranean vegetation with, depending on the route, views of Lac de Saint-Cassien, the Estérel and the surrounding hills. The outings are led by a riding instructor and equestrian tourism guide.
Which option should you choose?
- Family discovery: an introductory session and one-hour ride, available in particular to children from age 6 depending on the offer.
- Nature ride: a two-hour outing to enjoy the paths and become familiar with the horse.
- Half-day or full-day: longer treks, with age, ability and group-size conditions to check when booking.
Good to know before you visit
Wear clothing suitable for horse riding and book your time slot. Routes and age limits vary with the chosen package; the outing also depends on the weather. For longer rides, check the required level and any weight limits with the stables.
