Boël Trail (Sentier du Boël)
A very pleasant hike. First section at the top of cliffs, with lovely views over the Vilaine river and the site "Moulin du Boël". Cross a shady woodland, then return along the towpath.
To avoid as much as possible passing along the military site's fence ("Le Celar"), this new description uses a slightly more technical part of the GR®.
Along the Seiche
A short hike between ponds and following the Seiche river.
Apigné ponds and banks of the Vilaine

In the Vilaine region between Laillé and Bourg-des-Comptes

Strolling around Rennes
An urban walk where you first stroll along the Vilaine river before crossing two public gardens. Then you wander through the historic centre of Rennes with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. With the Palais Saint-Georges, the Portes Mordelaises, the Opera House, the Parliament of Brittany and several churches, there is a rich heritage to discover.

La Trotinais in Saint-Senoux
This area, aptly named Pays des Vallons de Vilaine (Land of the Vilaine Valleys), offers a rugged topography that is almost unique in the department and will delight hiking enthusiasts. The La Trotinais route has a total elevation gain of almost 200 metres. The village of Saint-Senoux and its 19th-century parish church of Saint-Abdon, as well as the hamlets of La Trotinais and La Fiolais, are well worth a visit.

Forêt de Rennes: Juteauderies circular
A short hike in the Rennes forest along shady forest lines and paths through the forest alongside the Caleuvre stream. This easy trail is particularly beautiful in early spring, when the beech trees have young, light-green leaves, or in autumn, when the leaves have turned yellow and red.
It takes you along the old water supply line that brought water from the Minette (a tributary of the Couesnon) to Rennes.
Walk between two ponds in Brocéliande in Iffendic
The legendary Brocéliande is undoubtedly the most popular of all, but the natural Brocéliande is just as omnipresent.
It is the latter that you will discover on this hike, with Lake Trémelin, the Bois de la Roche Trébulente and Putenoë woods, and above all the Careil bird sanctuary... don't forget your binoculars!
