This peregrination is made up only of men on horseback (including the musicians) and honours the Patron Saint of the village: St. Renelde … (there are between one hundred and fifty and two hundred who make up the cortège). After the mass given for the riders at 5 am, the Grand Peregrination starts at 7.30 am. To the tunes of the musicians on horseback, they cover a journey of 30 km to the borders of the surrounding communes before returning to Saintes at around 5 pm to escort the float to the church.
