Our equestrian resort, situated right amidst the marshes, 700 km off the village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer will be beyond your hopes and expectations of horse-riding activities.

Les Arnelles is first of all an equestrian resort, a traditional horsemanship school, a four-star-rated structure (appointed by the French youth and sports minister).

New facilities built in the traditional way, a hotel with a swimming pool for lodging, a water fall so as to refresh yourselves and a nice shady spot... Everything is to welcome you warmly to this magical place, where "gardians" and "Camargais" men used to gather for years and years.

Our sympathetic staff wish you an unforgettable vacation in les Arnelles !

Dressed in their dark hats and waistcoasts, shirts and mole-skin trousers, Carine and Serge twirl around from Spring to the last lights of Summer, lead villages' abrivados* or banditos*, ballets of ferrades*, sort bulls out, help in manades* or supervise pilgrimages.

We opened our establishment in 1995. Today, thousands of people come from the entire world to visit us.

On the strength of our State diplomas and many years of experience, we organise throughout the year daily rides horseback amongst sansouire, salicorne, saladelle, our region's emblematic flowers.
