This route will allow you to explore the Lac de la Tricherie leisure centre with its lake and activities: camping, mini-golf and a treetop adventure course, as well as the Bois du Défend and the village of Mesnard-la-Barotière with its two churches, in particular the Church of Saint-Christophe, which dates back to the 11th century. The route runs along the lake’s shores for 1.5 km and through the woods for 2.5 km.

This is a very interesting circular trail, three quarters of which runs along the banks of the Grande Maine and around the Barrage des Bultières reservoir. It often follows paths lined with gorse, broom and hawthorn hedges, which make it particularly pleasant during the spring flowering season. The topography allows you to make circular loops of varying lengths depending on your abilities.

Located at the intersection of the D137 and D160 roads, near the Quatre Chemins de l'Oie crossroads, the Hérbergement forest offers pleasant trails where you can explore the undergrowth with its variety of tree species. With a bit of luck, you may even spot a deer. Three-quarters of the route follows a trail that is clearly marked by the ONF (numbered markers).
