“Hedgerows and Rivers” route in Sacé
A walk starting from Sacé, alternating between sunken paths and a stroll along the towpath.
From Sacé, the banks of the Mayenne
This route gives pride of place to the River Mayenne, following its course for over four kilometres. As you travel upstream, you will pass five lock-and-dam complexes, some of which are linked to a small power station.
Around Sacé
A short route along the sunken paths of the small village of Sacé, passing by the River Mayenne.
Hollow path route in Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne
A very pleasant walk to rediscover the Mayenne countryside, between sunken paths, wooded areas, fields of cows and crops.
Around Genest-Saint-Isle
An easy walk starting from Genest-Saint-Isle, with very little elevation gain. The paths are beautiful, and you may see deer. In rainy weather, two or three sections are flooded for a few metres, but you can get around this by walking along the edge of the adjacent field. A beautiful finish along a pretty little stream.
Circular Coupeau around the Vicoin
A lovely, easy and picturesque walk around the Vicoin: marked route no. 3. There are many points of interest along the route, including a playground and a leisure centre. There is a dangerous section 500 m along the D500 between the marker (4) and the marker (5). The road can be busy at weekends. Avoid with children.
Fouteau Mabon via the ridge
A lovely walk through countryside and woodland in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Berthevin, with a slight climb, and not very busy. There are some rather picturesque stretches with beautiful flower-lined paths along the Vicoin. With a bit of luck, you might see the sulkies being trained at Fouteau Mabon.
(!) Take care when crossing the main road (7), as it can be very busy at weekends. Best avoided with children.
Avesnières route
Discover forgotten heritage by following towpaths, forest paths, country roads and sunken lanes.
The mills of Gastines and Fumeçon
There are only two old mills, no longer in operation, on this route, but it will also allow you to explore the woods and moors of the Gastinais region.
The Japanese steps of the Jouanne and the Rochevier lime kiln
This short walk will take you to discover the Jouanne and its stepping stones, as well as the Bois de l’Orbière, the Château de la Mazure and the Rochevier lime kiln. The stepping stones have been reinstalled a little further down the route.
Through woods and along the river around L’Huisserie
Discover the life-size illustration of L’Huisserie’s slogan, ‘between woods and river’. This walk is suitable for families as it presents no particular difficulty, and you can enjoy a picnic (you’ll find tables at the signposts (6) and shortly after (7)).
Long loop between Mayenne and Fontaine-Daniel
Fontaine-Daniel, with its picturesque village and beautiful lake, is one of the best-known places in the Mayenne area, but there is only one busy road to get there and the hiking opportunities around it are limited. This route, which can be done by bike or on foot in a day, connects the town to the village via a greenway through the town of Mayenne, then crosses the rolling countryside of Saint-Georges-Buttavent. It also covers a large part of the Salair forest near Fontaine-Daniel. To shorten the route, you can skip Mayenne and start elsewhere to make a loop around Fontaine-Daniel.
The Menhir de la Hune route in Bazougers
The Bazougers circular loop, which will allow you to explore the Mayenne countryside.
The Pouillé Copse in Larchamp
Unnoticeable to the hiker, this route has a unique feature: the waters encountered in the south feed into the Atlantic basin, whilst those in the north flow towards the English Channel.
It does, however, offer the chance to explore a site where woodworking was, for several centuries, the primary industry.
