A pleasant walk along the Canal de la Martinière.
Audubon Marsh Circular: Arche du Dareau - Etang-Bernard
This hike covers part of the Marais Audubon, a wetland that is part of the estuarine marshes. This area is a sanctuary for many species of birds, including storks, herons, egrets, ducks, harriers... An area of extensive cattle farming, it is also home to other less desirable species, such as nutria.
This circular route of about 10km runs almost exclusively along roads – some of which are flood-prone – but with very little traffic.
Couëron West: between town and countryside
Starting from the Couëron velodrome, this route begins in the old quarter of Bourg d’Aval and then follows the green corridor through the new neighbourhoods in the west-central part of the town. After an optional circular route through the countryside, it returns towards the Port-Launay neighbourhood near the Couëron–Le Pellerin ferry and then rejoins its starting point.
It is possible to shorten the route to a 6 km route.
From the village of Couëron to Lake Beaulieu and then to the Loire
Starting at the town hall square in Couëron, this circuit quickly leaves the village to reach Lake Beaulieu, offering some beautiful views of the town. After circling the lake and perhaps observing a few birds, it ends along the Loire, which you reach via footpaths. Here you will find Jean-Luc Courcoult's "La maison dans la Loire" (The House in the Loire) and the "Tour à Plomb" (Plumb Tower).
Suitable for all seasons, this route is particularly pleasant in the low winter light.
Campbon circular, from the lake to the old railway line
A route through the lower part of the village, taking you past the lake, Saint-Victor Chapel, the old railway line, the streams that feed the water table, the Tour d’Enfer and the village centre. Easy, as much of the route follows small country lanes.
