Donkey trekking in Burgundy
Our donkey trekking holidays in Burgundy
A gentle journey through the landscapes of the Brionnais bocage
Discover Burgundy on a donkey trek
Hiking with a donkey in Burgundy is an invitation to walk in the heart of a peaceful and unspoiled region. Here, in the Charolais-Brionnais bocage , the landscapes alternate between rolling meadows, hedgerows, sunken lanes and charming villages.
Why Burgundy for your donkey trek?
Discover authentic Burgundy by hiking at the pace of a donkey.
The Burgundy best explored on foot with a donkey is far from the main tourist routes. In the Charolais-Brionnais region , designated a "Land of Art and History," the landscapes are open and rolling, dotted with Romanesque churches and isolated farms. The paths meander between meadows and hedgerows, offering a rare sense of space and tranquility.
Heritage accompanies every step of the way: small towns, Romanesque churches, charming villages like Semur-en-Brionnais , and an unspoiled rural atmosphere. Donkey trekking in Burgundy is ideal for those seeking nature, culture, and tranquility.
Donkey treks suitable for the whole family
A comfortable and self-guided family hike
Hiking with a donkey in Burgundy is particularly suitable for families. Thanks to the pack saddle , the donkey carries your belongings (up to 30 kg), allowing children to walk freely and adults to fully enjoy the scenery.
Before setting off, you'll receive all the necessary instructions to safely lead your donkey : fitting the pack saddle, managing breaks, and understanding the animal's behavior. The goal is to make you independent while ensuring your peace of mind.
The daily stages are well-balanced, with reasonable distances and moderate terrain. Each evening, you'll find comfortable accommodation , carefully selected for its hospitality and authenticity. No camping: the experience remains immersive yet always comfortable.
