Start at the junction of Rue des Vergers and Route d’Épuisay.

(S/E) Set off along Rue d’Épuisay to the right towards the village centre. At the end, turn left onto Route de Galette, towards the church.
Carry on straight ahead along Route de Danzé (D24) until you reach the hamlet of La Gasnerie.

(1) Leave the D24 and turn right towards La Roulière. Cross the ford and continue along the road. After the La Roulière estate, immediately take the path on the right which climbs towards the woods. Continue to Le Petit Nuisement.

(2) Turn right and carry on for about 600 m.

(3) Ignore the path on the right (elevation 141) and carry on to the road. Continue along the road to the right. Pass the Gorgeat farm on your right.

(4) Take the path on the right as you leave the hamlet of Le Petit Pont. Cross the Mérillière then take the path on the right at the hamlet of Vaumorau. Further on, ignore the path on the right. Continue straight on to Le Boël.

(5) As you leave the hamlet, turn right. After about 300 m, at Champ Rimbert, turn left to cross Le Boulon.

(6) Cross the Route de la Galette and continue straight ahead along the path. Take the next path on the right, which overlooks the village. Walk down Rue des Buissons, then turn left onto Rue des Vergers to return to the car park (S/E).

A very pretty route with varied landscapes, undergrowth, woods, meadows, small paths, and short passages through Azé. It climbs a little at the beginning, which is good preparation for more difficult hikes, and at the end of the route there is also a nice hill, so you need to save some energy to finish off with this fairly steep climb... But a very enjoyable time in the countryside... Merc Visorando

We combined this route with the Buissay circular route, which took us to a total of 15 km. It was a pleasant route and very well signposted.
