A shortcut is possible by returning via the Voie Verte, which is shaded and has a dirt and gravel surface: less tiring and, above all, no cars, though cyclists do pass through.

Through woods and along the river around L’Huisserie
Discover the life-size illustration of L’Huisserie’s slogan, ‘between woods and river’. This walk is suitable for families as it presents no particular difficulty, and you can enjoy a picnic (you’ll find tables at the signposts (6) and shortly after (7)).
Fouteau Mabon via the ridge
A lovely walk through countryside and woodland in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Berthevin, with a slight climb, and not very busy. There are some rather picturesque stretches with beautiful flower-lined paths along the Vicoin. With a bit of luck, you might see the sulkies being trained at Fouteau Mabon.
(!) Take care when crossing the main road (7), as it can be very busy at weekends. Best avoided with children.
Circular Coupeau around the Vicoin
A lovely, easy and picturesque walk around the Vicoin: marked route no. 3. There are many points of interest along the route, including a playground and a leisure centre. There is a dangerous section 500 m along the D500 between the marker (4) and the marker (5). The road can be busy at weekends. Avoid with children.
Avesnières route
Discover forgotten heritage by following towpaths, forest paths, country roads and sunken lanes.
Between the towpath and the forest in Laval
A short, easy walk starting from Laval, taking in towpaths, country roads and forest tracks.
Around Genest-Saint-Isle
An easy walk starting from Genest-Saint-Isle, with very little elevation gain. The paths are beautiful, and you may see deer. In rainy weather, two or three sections are flooded for a few metres, but you can get around this by walking along the edge of the adjacent field. A beautiful finish along a pretty little stream.
The Vau Follet to Le Pertre route
A welcoming destination on the edge of the Mayenne region and a true paradise for walkers, the village and countryside of Le Pertre offer stunning panoramic views: from the viewing platform behind the church, you can see 39 church spires.
Route du Bois de Clermont, Le Pertre
Horses reign supreme in Le Pertre: there are numerous stud farms specialising in draught, riding and racehorses, and the racecourse, situated at the foot of the village which has been perched on the hill since the 11th century, is emblematic of the area.
Le Pertre lies on the border between Maine and Brittany, so much so that the young children from Saint-Cyr-le-Gravelais in Maine walk along a pleasant path to get to the school in Le Pertre.
FFRP-certified.
Suitable for both walking and mountain biking.
The Grande Courbe route in Origné
The second Origné route in South Mayenne, which will take you along the Mayenne towpath.

Route covering both villages, starting from Peuton
Pleasant circular route between the villages of Peuton and Marigné-Peuton in southern Mayenne. At the end of the route, on your return to Peuton, you’ll take the brand-new Sentier de la Carrière.
The Japanese steps of the Jouanne and the Rochevier lime kiln
This short walk will take you to discover the Jouanne and its stepping stones, as well as the Bois de l’Orbière, the Château de la Mazure and the Rochevier lime kiln. The stepping stones have been reinstalled a little further down the route.

Eastern Craon Route
A short circular route that takes you along the paths through the Craon countryside. You’ll also follow the old railway line, now the Laval–Renazé Greenway.
At the Mûrier lake (the start and finish of the route), there are a few benches and picnic tables. There are also plenty of children’s play equipment and water play facilities (in July and August).
Hollow path route in Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne
A very pleasant walk to rediscover the Mayenne countryside, between sunken paths, wooded areas, fields of cows and crops.
Around the Merveille stream
The Mayenne: first and foremost, it is a river 200 km long that has given its name to a town from which it is navigable, as well as to a department (53).
You’ll begin by exploring the countryside along a path through the scrub, then along so-called ‘traverse’ paths – some unpaved, some tarmacked – with views over the Vallon des Merveilles, before reaching the river as it cuts through the granite at Moulin Oger and then a deep gorge formed by two sandstone escarpments.
