Description of the walk

Start from the village car park (opposite the hotel-restaurant).

(S/E) Turn right onto Rue de Beau Soleil and follow it for about 500m. You will then reach a crossroads where four roads meet (at the wayside shrine on the right). Follow the road furthest to the left and continue to the hamlet of Bourgneuf (about 250m further on).
Pass the first junction on the left and you will come to a three-way junction.

(1) There, turn left onto a country lane and, after just over 50m, turn right at the second three-way junction (not shown on the map). Continue straight on for about 130m. There, the lane curves to the left and another lane continues straight ahead (not shown on the map). Continue straight on for about 300m until you reach a T-junction with another track. Turn left and walk for about 200m to reach the hamlet of Balisson.

(2) At the junction with a small tarmac road on the left, take the tree-lined path on the right and walk for about 330m to reach a small clearing where you cross another path. Continue straight on for about 500m to reach a small tarmac road at the farm in the hamlet of La Grande Noé.

(3) Continue straight on along this small tarmac road for 800m and, at the first junction by the farm in the hamlet of Marcillé, turn right. After about 100m, at the crossroads, turn right. Continue for 300m and, at the second junction, a country lane branches off to the left.

(4) Follow this track for just under 1.5 km to reach a small tarmac road, passing near the hamlet of Le Moulin de Sevillé.

(5) Continue straight on for about 300m until you reach a T-junction with another small tarmac road.
Take the path that goes straight ahead and follow it for 2.5 km until you reach a farm.
Turn right onto a small tarmac road and return to the junction you passed on the way there.

(1) Continue straight on for about 300m until you reach the junction with a wayside shrine. Turn right there and continue straight on for about 500m to reach the village car park. (S/E)

A varied and pleasant walk along country lanes. Do remember to give the farm dogs a friendly wave.
Slightly undulating landscape. The River Oudon remains hidden behind a curtain of trees. As for heritage sites, we were unable to spot the Sevillé mill. However, you can see the site of the Châtelais oppidum.
Thank you for this walk

Ambiguity between point 2 and point 3
"Continue straight on for 500m to reach... a place called La Grande Noé"
You will find yourself facing a Yellow Cross and an electric fence
with a sign for shortcut route no. 2
- should we go there?
- Can we go there?
- Is this route no. 2?
- Is this really La Grande Noé farm?

Mark this location more precisely
Thank you
