You have an appointment at Andrea’s Cavalerie, located in saint-Pair-sur-Mer. Andrea, the manager, will show you around and introduce you to Caporal, her 12-year-old Cob Normand. Don’t look for him in a stall: Caporal, like Andrea’s other horses, lives on grass in the fields all year round! With Andrea’s help and advice, you harness Caporal to the carriage. Through the country lanes of Kairon and Jullouville, you’ll get to know Andrea, your driver. You’ll discover her passion forcarriage driving,horses and Destination. You’ll also learn all about Caporal’s history, as he calmly and concentratedly leads you along, to the sounds ofbirds and other farmanimals. The carriage lulls you to sleep, but you’re soon awakened when Caporal, obedient to Andrea, starts trotting. From the heights of the valleys, you admire the view of the sea.
