FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the horse-drawn carriage ride in Saint-Malo go?
There are two routes depending on the season. From October 1 to March 31, the carriage leaves from the Cale de Rochebonne and rides along the Grande Plage du Sillon to the Fort National and back, depending on the low tides. From April 1 to September 30, it leaves from the Parc du Nicet for a panoramic ride on the Pointe de la Varde with views over the bay of Saint-Malo and Dinard.
What food and drinks are served on the carriage ride?
A private gourmet aperitif is served: a cheese platter from Maison Bordier, seafood rillettes, white and red wine, Breton craft beer and fruit juice. Vegetarian and vegan options are available on request. Since it is private, the aperitif is shared only with your own group while you take in the views of the Emerald Coast from the carriage.
Who are the horses on the Saint-Malo carriage experience?
The carriage is pulled by two horses, Vaquero and Filou. They are well cared for and loved by their owners, who see them as part of the team. Meeting them is one of the highlights for many guests, especially children.
Is the gourmet carriage ride suitable for families with kids?
Yes. The experience is presented as perfect for families, and the menu includes fruit juice as well as wine and beer. Children usually enjoy meeting the horses and riding along the coast. It is also an eco-friendly way to explore the Emerald Coast.
Does the tide affect the carriage ride in Saint-Malo?
Yes, in winter. From October to March, the ride along the Grande Plage du Sillon to the Fort National depends on low tides, so the schedule follows the tide tables. The summer route on the Pointe de la Varde does not mention tides. Your trip designer will confirm your time.
