(S/E) Take Rue de l’Église heading south-west. Cross Rue du Tertre-Haut and take the path opposite, slightly to the right. After skirting the River Vilaine below on your left, the path branches off to the right then to the left, leading onto a street leading to a house. Turn right.
(1) Cross the D857 (Rue de Rennes) with great care and continue along the road opposite, slightly to the right. Pass La Machotière and Les Trois Roches.
(2) At La Gaudinais, in the bend, carry on straight ahead along a track. Follow it to the right and then to the left. Pass under a medium-voltage power line and reach a road.
(3) Cross the road and continue straight ahead, keeping slightly to the right. When you reach Les Alleux, turn left, then after 50 metres, follow the path to the right. Before entering the woods, turn right, then at La Piellière, turn left and continue along the D857.
(4) Take the path on the left. Follow it round a bend to the right, then a second bend to the left. Cross a stream and reach a road. Cross the road and carry on straight ahead. As you approach the houses at Bézier, turn left. When you reach a Fork in the road, take the path on the right and arrive at a T-junction.

(5) Take the path to the right, to rejoin the lane you took in the opposite direction earlier. Ignore the path coming from the right (the Fork in the road you passed earlier), then, as you approach the Maison du Bézier, turn right. Cross the road and continue to the left to reach the D105 county road.
(4) Follow it to the left, then after 150 m, cross the road and take the path on the right. Follow it as it bends to the right and continue due south to the hamlet of La Bâte.
