"La Vieille Cheminée's" Exclusive Excursions

In addition to its charming accommodations in a unique setting, "La Vieille Cheminée" excels in its horse rides and other excursions. These guided excursions comprise several circuits of one, two or three hours.
Proposed exclusively to its residents, the excursions are a means to enjoy this huge and magnificent family-owned property and guest house among friends and relatives.

Zigzagging through sugar-cane, banana and pineapple fields, trailing the banks of the river, entering the cool shelter of the ravenalas and indigenous forests, over the river fords where the horses can momentarily unwind and our guests relax... so many places to discover - each one as wonderful as the next!

The Chamarel Falls and the Seven Coloured Earths are in the vicinity of our domain. What better way to discover them than by horseback or by foot.

In an attempt to thoroughly delight our guests, we leave the time, pace, and circuit of the excursions to their discretion.
