Clisson walks
From the Sèvre Nantaise to the Moine
Between the tame and tranquil Sèvre Nantaise and the wild and secretive Moine, this life-size trail is sure to appeal to many hikers. Footbridges over the rivers make it easier to get around and allow you to better enjoy the steep-sided valleys.
Please note: due to the Hellfest festival in Clisson, the Sèvre Nantaise to Moine route is not accessible during the second half of June (dates to be checked each year).

Between Sèvre Nantaise, vineyards and mills
This hike starts on the north bank of the Sèvre Nantaise but mainly takes place on the south bank. It offers both beautiful views along the river and panoramic views over the vineyards. It is accessible all year round in principle, but in wet weather, some sections may be muddy.
From Saint-Crespin-sur-Moine to Monfaucon
An easy hike starting from Saint-Crespin-sur-Moine, which begins on the banks of the Moine and goes to Monfaucon, returning north via as many paths as possible.
Circuit along the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise and vineyards from Le Pallet
This walk takes you along the Sèvre Nantaise, passing through a small port and winding its way through the Muscadet vineyards, while you admire the small, typical, historic villages of the Nantes vineyards.
Circular Maisdon-sur-Sévre to Aigrefeuille
The section that follows the Maine valley is absolutely superb. The rest of the route consists of a few small roads, mostly paths, vineyards and woods.
Practical information: two variants are available, which, when combined, reduce the route from 21 km to approximately 16.5 km.
Circular from Boussay to Tiffauges
This circular route takes us from Boussay to Tiffauges, close to the beautiful Sèvre Nantaise valley, and returns via very peaceful country lanes.
Short circular loop starting from Gué Joubert
Traditional houses, superb paths through the vineyards, shady banks of the Sèvre: a wonderful itinerary!
Circular between La Haye-Fouassière and Le Pallet
This hike starts at the port of La Haye-Fouassière and follows a circular route along the south bank of the Sèvre Nantaise to Monnières (on the Way of St James), with an optional detour to the reservoir on the Sèvre at Le Pallet (approximately 15 km without this option).
It offers commanding views over the Sèvre and its surroundings and often winds its way through vineyards.
From La Grossière to Tiffauges
Apart from the start on a small road, this short hike mainly follows both banks of the Sèvre Nantaise in a setting that I never tire of, whatever the season or time of day.
Between Saint-Fiacre and Château-Thébaud
This loop mainly takes place in the vineyards between Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine and Château-Thébaud, south of Nantes. It offers some lovely views, particularly at the Belvédère de Château-Thébaud, which overlooks the Maine. The circuit follows farm tracks through the vineyards (some of which may be private). The landscape changes with the seasons and the different colours of the vineyards.
Circular Aiguefou Valley tour in Saint-Germain-sur-Moine
This is a lovely route that takes you along country lanes and a path alongside the Aiguefou stream (a tributary of the Moine). You will also pass two historic fountains.
Route des Ombrages starting from Landreau
The long Ombrages route in the north-eastern part of Landreau is a bit long, so here is a beautiful shorter section of this route.
Route of the Battle of Torfou via the Sèvre Nantaise
This circular route crosses the Torfou countryside and runs alongside the Sèvre Nantaise stream. It offers diverse landscapes with rivers and ponds, then a path passing by the Pierre Tournisse and offering a view of the Château de Barbe Bleue, so nicknamed because of its most infamous resident, Gilles de Rais.
The Sèvre, its hillsides and mills between Vertou and La Haye-Fouassière
This hike takes place mainly on paths. Going from village to village, it offers a beautiful variety of landscapes: there are both wide-open views of the vineyards and the Sèvre Nantaise valley, and wooded passages, particularly along the banks of the Sèvre.
It can be enjoyed in any season, with the colours and light offering ever-changing pleasures!
Circular route between Tiffauges and Boussay along the Sèvre river
This route offers magnificent views of Tiffauges Castle, especially at the end, or what remains of it, the famous Bluebeard's Castle.
It runs largely along the Sèvre Nantaise stream.
Note that this route can be shortened halfway by taking the Pont de la Grossière bridge. This halves the time and distance for little legs.
On the other hand, the second part is wilder and more bucolic.
East of Tiffauges via Le Longeron
Starting from Tiffauges and its feudal castle ruins, we set off along the beautiful Sèvre stream to the south of Le Longeron. The return journey is initially along small roads and then along paths again.
Le Loroux-Bottereau between Pont de Louen and the village
Starting at Pont de Louen on the banks of the Goulaine (and its marsh in winter), this route immediately climbs to the Butte de la Roche to overlook the area, with a panoramic view as far as Nantes. It then winds its way between vineyards and charming hamlets, with other panoramic views such as at the Moulin du Pé. Crossing the village of Loroux-Bottereau, it then makes a circular route back to the hill and the starting point.
Circular Calceria at La Chaussaire
This route will allow you to discover the natural riches of La Chaussaire, with a short stop on the way back at the Grotto of Lourdes de la Chaussaire, next to the parish church of Saint-Joseph-en-Mauges.
