Circular route in Cherrueix via La Larronnière and La Banche

This easy walk takes you along the coast between the towns of Cherrueix and Le Vivier-sur-Mer, with beautiful views of Mont St Michel Bay to the east and Pointe du Grouin and Cancale to the west.
It then continues inland, running alongside the River Banche, a bucolic stretch accompanied by the chirping of birds if there are no farmers at work.
The circular route ends with a fairly quiet stretch of road.
