An experience unlike any other.
Equestrian & Culinary Journeys Through France
We pair the saddle with the table — week-long journeys through the French countryside, staying in historic châteaux, riding daily, and eating like the region has been eating for centuries.
Every Saddle & Spoon trip is built around a single place and its traditions. You'll ride through landscapes that supply the kitchens you eat in. You'll sleep in rooms with three hundred years of stories in the walls. And you'll share long, unhurried meals — cassoulet, confit, wine from down the road — with people who came for the same thing you did: a week that feels nothing like a vacation and everything like a life you didn't know you were missing.
Toulouse — La Ville Rose
Seven days based at a classified 18th-century château on 110 hectares of working farmland, twenty minutes from Toulouse. Ride each morning through the Pyrenean foothills. Eat cassoulet, confit, and charcuterie from the estate's own Gascon black pigs. Explore Carcassonne. Dine in the grand salon beneath centuries-old plasterwork. Come back different.
Deauville — The Normandy Coast
The birthplace of French racing culture, where legendary racecourses sit minutes from the Atlantic tide. We're building a trip that pairs coastal rides along the Normandy shore with the region's extraordinary seafood, Calvados, and Camembert — all rooted in the same farm-to-table philosophy that drives everything we do.
