This horse-drawn carriage takes you back in time, to an era before cars existed. Before the arrival of the automobile, carriages were a very common means of transport, both in cities and in the countryside. They were used for everyday travel, but also for special occasions such as weddings, celebrations, or official ceremonies. Their speed depended on the strength and endurance of the horses, which could cover several dozen kilometers (about 20–30 miles) per day.

The word "carriage" comes from the French calèche, itself derived from the town of Kocs in Hungary, where this type of vehicle was first built in the 17th century. A calèche is a light four-wheeled carriage, usually open, but which could be covered with a folding hood in case of rain. Comfortable and elegant, carriages quickly became symbols of refinement and prestige throughout Europe. Even today, they can still be seen in some tourist cities, offering visitors a traditional and picturesque way to explore.
