CARRIAGE RIDES with pair of magnificent Percheron horses, through the vines and sunflowers. In the village of Massac close by, are a pair of Percheron horses ( The dappled gray ones - that look like a child's rocking horse ). They are available to come and give you the perfect half day out, through the vines and sunflowers, and traditional villages. If you are up to it they can even go at the gallop, a truly breathtaking and memorable experience. These horses, much loved by their owners, and solely for pleasure, used to be the only "horse power" running the small farms and vineyards.
