This path, marked in Red, uses paths for around 70% of its length. It takes in the eastern part of the village, passing through the green space of the Ruisseau de la Bujerie, the Chemin des Hauts Bois, which leads to one of the highest points in the village (112 m), the place known as Les Basses Epines, as well as stretches of wooded paths and field margins.

Set in lush green surroundings, 8 km north-west of Le Mans, the village of Pruillé-le-Chétif is particularly popular for its wooded countryside. This circular route will allow you to explore the village centre (12th-century church), the famous Botanical Trail, complemented by other sections of remarkable footpaths within the commune: sunken lanes, old marl pits, protected hedgerows, pollarded trees, etc.

This yellow-marked trail is the longest of the marked trails in the municipality; it follows the unmissable fuchsia-marked botanical trail (3.5 km), as well as sections of another blue-marked trail.

A pleasant walk where you can explore shaded paths and the Bois de la Cornuère. This is a diverse woodland, consisting mainly of deciduous trees, notably beautiful oaks. A few large umbrella pines dot this lovely landscape. A picnic table awaits you shortly after leaving the woods.
