Art in the mountains” horseback ride

What to expect

As part of Art en chemin and with the partnership of the Gassendi Museum in Digne les Bains, we offer horseback rides to discover some of the works of the mountain art collection around Barles, such as the " windows " and the " traces " of Herman de Vries filled with history, geology and poetry, the Sentinel of the Clues and the magnificent art refuges of Vieil Esclangon and Escuichier made by the famous artist Andy Goldworthy, works of art made of nature, inscribed in nature.

We breed Franches-Montagnes, Paint-Horses and Welshes horses. Our horses are bred in the mountains, in herds. They are sure-footed and have impeccable behaviour.

During the course you will progress at the 3 paces in a grandiose landscape, within the first UNESCO Geopark in the world, preserved from all auditory, olfactory and visual pollution. Depending on the formula chosen, we will stop in one of the Art refuges or we will return to the farm in a comfortable cottage where you can eat a meal cooked with organic and local products, sometimes from our garden.
