From L’Aumaillerie to Beaucé

Park in the car park on Rue Alfred Sauvy, on the right, in front of the garden centre and behind the Aumaillerie hall.

(S/E) From the car park, take the Voie Verte heading east. Cross a road and carry on straight ahead.
After 400 m, don’t miss the start of a path on the other side, signposted ‘Centre bourg’. Cross the road carefully and follow this path, which leads to a footbridge over the Couesnon.

(1) Immediately after the footbridge, turn right and walk alongside the Couesnon. Follow the path as it turns left, away from the river, heading north-east. Continue until you reach a road.

(2) Turn left onto this road and, after 50 m, keep left to walk past the holiday homes on your right. Enter the sports ground and walk past the two football pitches on your right. You will come out onto Allée des Acacias.

(3) You can choose not to walk around the pond – distance 1, km. Follow Allée des Acacias for 200, m and turn left, following the sign for “Étang des Vertes Rives”.

Ignore a road on the right, then as you approach the lake, turn right to walk round it anti-clockwise. Return to Rue des Vertes Rives, then turn right onto Allée des Acacias.

(3) Cross at the pedestrian crossing and head into the small square leading to the church and then the town hall. You’ll reach the edge of the N12.

(4) Turn left and walk along the pavement, which becomes a stony track as you leave the village.

(5) Leave the main road by turning left onto a path which becomes a road as you approach the houses.
Follow Rue de la Chaudronnerais as far as the bypass.

(6) Turn left onto the safe footpath that runs alongside the road and veers slightly away from it.
Continue to Rue Alfred Sauvy, which you must cross to return to the car park (S/E).
