Aquitaine region into a long conflict known as the 100 year war. Several walled towns and castles were built during this period in order to respond to the different strategic, political and economic requirements of the area. This journey back in time takes you roaming on the back of your courageous charger through deep, mysterious valleys and on a maze of ancient paths through the forest. The three day historical trek ends each day in a lovely three star gite where you will enjoy scrumptious food influenced by the neighboring Perigord province. Following this, two and a half days are spent back in Mimizan in a two star hotel with breathtaking beach riding and exploration of this phenomenal area.
