Gétigné walks

A beautiful hike with a few very small roads in the first third of the route, then only paths, particularly along the banks of the Sèvre. It is part of a series of loops that allow you to explore the banks of the Sèvre.

Walk along the Sèvre river and don't forget to admire the beautiful villages, mills and houses decorated with flowers.

Between the tame and tranquil Sèvre Nantaise and the wild and secretive Moine, this life-size trail is sure to appeal to many hikers. Footbridges over the rivers make it easier to get around and allow you to better enjoy the steep-sided valleys. Please note: due to the Hellfest festival in Clisson, the Sèvre Nantaise to Moine route is not accessible during the second half of June (dates to be checked each year).

Discover Clisson, its castle, its historic centre, its churches and its warrens.

Marked trail starting from Rue du Gaudu, which runs along the Moine river via the Pierre de l'Écuelle. This legendary rock is said to bear the engraved image of the devil's plate and knife...

An easy hike starting from Saint-Crespin-sur-Moine, which begins on the banks of the Moine and goes to Monfaucon, returning north via as many paths as possible.

This circular route takes us from Boussay to Tiffauges, close to the beautiful Sèvre Nantaise valley, and returns via very peaceful country lanes.

Apart from the start on a small road, this short hike mainly follows both banks of the Sèvre Nantaise in a setting that I never tire of, whatever the season or time of day.

This hike starts on the north bank of the Sèvre Nantaise but mainly takes place on the south bank. It offers both beautiful views along the river and panoramic views over the vineyards. It is accessible all year round in principle, but in wet weather, some sections may be muddy.

This walk takes you along the Sèvre Nantaise, passing through a small port and winding its way through the Muscadet vineyards, while you admire the small, typical, historic villages of the Nantes vineyards.

The section that follows the Maine valley is absolutely superb. The rest of the route consists of a few small roads, mostly paths, vineyards and woods. Practical information: two variants are available, which, when combined, reduce the route from 21 km to approximately 16.5 km.

This circular route crosses the Torfou countryside and runs alongside the Sèvre Nantaise stream. It offers diverse landscapes with rivers and ponds, then a path passing by the Pierre Tournisse and offering a view of the Château de Barbe Bleue, so nicknamed because of its most infamous resident, Gilles de Rais.

This route offers magnificent views of Tiffauges Castle, especially at the end, or what remains of it, the famous Bluebeard's Castle. It runs largely along the Sèvre Nantaise stream. Note that this route can be shortened halfway by taking the Pont de la Grossière bridge. This halves the time and distance for little legs. On the other hand, the second part is wilder and more bucolic.

Starting from Tiffauges and its feudal castle ruins, we set off along the beautiful Sèvre stream to the south of Le Longeron. The return journey is initially along small roads and then along paths again.

Traditional houses, superb paths through the vineyards, shady banks of the Sèvre: a wonderful itinerary!

This large circular route can be completed in a long day. It is part of a series of circular routes of varying lengths that allow you to discover the magnificent Sèvre Nantaise valley between Clisson and Mortagne-sur-Sèvre. This section starts at the Moulin de la Roche in the commune of Tiffauges and goes to the foot of Mortagne, returning by different paths but always favouring the banks of the Sèvre.

This hike starts at the port of La Haye-Fouassière and follows a circular route along the south bank of the Sèvre Nantaise to Monnières (on the Way of St James), with an optional detour to the reservoir on the Sèvre at Le Pallet (approximately 15 km without this option). It offers commanding views over the Sèvre and its surroundings and often winds its way through vineyards.

This is not the Calvary route, but there are many calvaries along this route between the countryside and the riverbank. The route includes as many paths as possible and a few very peaceful minor roads when there is no other choice.

This loop mainly takes place in the vineyards between Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine and Château-Thébaud, south of Nantes. It offers some lovely views, particularly at the Belvédère de Château-Thébaud, which overlooks the Maine. The circuit follows farm tracks through the vineyards (some of which may be private). The landscape changes with the seasons and the different colours of the vineyards.

This route will allow you to discover the natural riches of La Chaussaire, with a short stop on the way back at the Grotto of Lourdes de la Chaussaire, next to the parish church of Saint-Joseph-en-Mauges.
