Start from the sports hall car park, near the town hall and the former state school.
(S/E) Head north towards the private school, along Rue des Peupliers, then down towards the Neo-Romanesque church (1846–1851). Note, on the right at the junction with Rue des Colombes, a well built into a house with a straight wooden lintel and a niche for a religious icon.
(1) From Place de l’Église, turn south, between the hairdresser’s and the former private girls’ school, and take Rue des Fauvettes, then Rue des Chardonnerets. Continue straight on southwards until you reach Rue des Tilleuls, which you follow to the left.
(2) Turn immediately right, after the cross commemorating Dominique Rublon, who died for France in 1915, and take Rue des Bouvreuils heading west. At the end of the street, turn left towards the south, passing under a power line.
(3) At the Croix Mettier, turn left heading east. Cross the Route Départementale (D93) with care and follow the land consolidation track to Les Orgeries, passing under a power line once more.
(4) 250 m after this village, turn right onto a small path heading east, which can be very muddy in winter. At the end of the path, turn right and follow the track southwards until you reach a local road, where you’ll have a panoramic view of a whole cluster of wind turbines.
(Martigné-Ferchaud, Sainte-Colombe, Soulvache, Teillay, Sion-les-Mines and, if you have a keen eye, you can make out those at Soudan. Along the route, you can also see those at Pléchâtel and Le Petit-Fougeray).
(5) Head west. When the road bends to the left, carry on straight ahead until you reach the old Hautais mill (visible on the Cassini map).
(6) Turn left onto the Route Départementale heading south.
At the transformer station, turn right onto the VC9 towards La Bosse-de-Bretagne, heading west for 500 metres until you reach the first track on the right.
(7) Take this track northwards until you reach the Croix Mettier.
(3) Turn left onto the track heading west and follow it to the next junction.
(8) Turn left, heading west, along the Chemin du Plessis until you reach the farm, where you’ll turn right onto the local track. (These tracks may be impassable in winter. In this case, take the departmental road. ) Turn left and, after 50 m, cross the departmental road (D47) with care.
(9) Take the dirt track leading towards the Croix Guénard until you reach the next track on your right.
(10) Head north towards Clos-Neuf (an old manor house and stagecoach stop).
(11) Turn right onto the local track heading east and follow it for 1,200 metres until you reach the next local track on the left.
(12) Head north towards La Bahuchais, then turn right at the first track, then turn left and head north towards Le Plessis.
(13) At the district road (D247), turn right towards the village. Turn right at the football pitch, then left, and you’ll return to the starting point (S/E).
