a family crossing France in a caravan passing through Vienne

It is with the objective of participating in the fish route from September 18 that the family decided to cross France, from south to north with three mules and a trailer.

“The fish route” is a sporting and popular equestrian carriage event. Created in 1991 with the help of the Haras de Compiègne, this 24-hour endurance race is organized in September to connect Boulogne-sur-Mer to Paris. It pays homage to the hunters, the former fishmongers, who delivered fish and seafood by team to Paris.

Besides the three mules, the family dog ​​is adventurous. Edith and Sébastien, breeders in Ariège, have also taken their three children on board for the adventure.
