Starting point: DIY store car park, Rue de la Tannerie, Montfort-Sur-Meu.
(S/E) Exit to the left towards Rue de Coulon (towards the butcher's shop). Take Rue de Coulon on the right. At the roundabout, turn left onto Boulevard du Général de Gaulle, onto the footpath and cycle path.
(1) Just after the bridge, cross the boulevard and take the sandy path on the right along the Meu. Continue straight ahead, staying on this side of the Meu until you reach the stone bridge of the Abbey (passing an athletics track and a horse riding arena).
(2) Turn right and cross the bridge. Immediately turn right and continue for 150 metres.
(3) Go up to the left towards the woods (Butte de la Harelle). At the third bend, continue straight ahead, leaving the path on your right. Be careful, on the flat, the path turns to the right. Then, at a fork, turn right to walk along the meadows and then left to reach the houses.
(4) At La Heurtebise, pass by a wayside cross. In the bend, leave the road.
(5) Take the path between the house (La Maconnais) and the pond (do not go down to the left).
(6) Go up to the right towards the IME de Saint-Lazare. At the crossroads by the nurseries, turn left. After about 100 metres on the road, leave the road on the right and cross straight across the farmyard (GR® route). Continue straight ahead, pass a water point and cross two roads consecutively at the place known as l'Anière. Go up the path slightly to the left. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead to the D72 road (Montfort / St-Péran) at the place known as Le Bouillon.
(7) Turn left onto the road and turn right at the next crossroads. Leave the next two paths on your left. Turn left at the next crossroads, following the fenced property. Follow the road and, after passing a small private pond on your right, you will come to a road that bends to the left. At the T-junction, turn right. Then (at Ville Jancel) take the first right towards the road running alongside the Travan quarries.
(8) Go down the path on the right to the farm and take the road to the right. At the next crossroads, go down the path on the right towards the forest. Go up to a crossroads.
(9) Turn right onto the path with the barrier. Continue straight ahead until you reach a section of road (known as Le Petit Buisson). Turn left, then right down towards the Route de La Roche, which becomes Rue du Rhin and takes you back to the starting point through the housing estates.
(10) After the local stone manor house, turn left onto Rue du Clos Berhault, which runs alongside Le Meu. Cross Boulevard de la Duchesse Anne towards the starting car park (S/E).
