Every year, in Les Baux-de-Provence, in the heart of the Alpilles mountains, the blessing of the horses brings together enthusiasts and the curious in a setting steeped in tradition.
Riders gather to ride through the village streets to the Château des Baux esplanade before the horses are blessed.
At 11.30am, the riders gather to ride in a parade through the narrow streets of the village to the Esplanade du Château. All riders and their mounts (with the exception of horse-drawn carriages) can take part in this equestrian blessing (FFE-licensed riders including FFE green licence at €10).
11am Gather at the bottom of the village of Les Baux
11.15am Departure of the group to the Esplanade du Château des Baux
11.45 am Friendship drink on the Esplanade
12.15pm Benediction
1pm Meal by reservation at Les Enganes on 06 72 45 71 95
