The Moulin Route in Broons-sur-Vilaine

The charming little village of Broons, whose church was built using stone from the quarries in the Corbière Forest. A mill, the edge of the forest, ponds, a beautiful sunken path and distant views towards the south at Les Quatre Vents add to the charm of this idyllic route, which holds the FFRandonnée label.

A simple route, but sections that run right through farmyards, even though these are public thoroughfares
That’s a bit of a nuisance
