Guenrouet walks

The Isac Valley connects Guenrouët to the Vilaine. Small country roads and wide carriageways, then the towpath of the Nantes-Brest Canal, lead to the Bellion Lock, a nautical stop at the confluence of the canal and the Vilaine. The return journey is the same, via other equally pleasant routes. A bucolic atmosphere is guaranteed on this ride on the edge of the Pays de Redon.

Passing through villages, tree-lined paths and the towpath of the Nantes-Brest Canal, this walk is an opportunity to observe ducks, foxes, swans, coots and deer, if you keep a low profile.

A route through the lower part of the village, taking you past the lake, Saint-Victor Chapel, the old railway line, the streams that feed the water table, the Tour d’Enfer and the village centre. Easy, as much of the route follows small country lanes.

On your way to and from Pontchâteau town centre, discover the Brière marshes. With a bit of luck (in season), you may spot a nest of storks.

The village of Saint-Dolay overlooks the plateau that borders the south bank of the Vilaine. This flat landscape is cut by a valley with sometimes steep slopes, where the Moulin Neuf stream flows. While moors cover the slopes and heights of the valley, marshes and peat bogs cover the bottom. Add to this variety of vegetation a remarkable geological diversity, and you will have many reasons to explore this route.

A pleasant walk in this beautiful forest, with a chapel at the end for those who are interested. Very shady, easy paths overall, with little elevation gain.

This loop in the Gavre National Forest allows you to enjoy a pleasant time in this natural environment, with more than 80% of the walk on trails (no tarmac).

Traced along the Sillon de Bretagne, this route offers beautiful views of the Loire Estuary. Whether along sunken paths or through the undergrowth, this walk crosses four pleasant, shaded valleys. In spring, these green corridors, rich in botanical and faunal diversity, are carpeted with daffodils and frequented by kestrels.

After the lake of Vallée Mabile, the path leads the hiker below the Sillon de Bretagne to the marsh and its moat lined with trees and reeds, populated by grey herons feeding among the cows. You may also come across the corncrake, the bird with the most distinctive song.

A lovely countryside walk, with a variety of paths that are mostly shaded, beautiful scenery and, at the start and finish, the stunning view of Lac de la Vallée Mabille.

Superb hike starting from the Chapelle des Lieux Saints, through the woods, with magnificent views of the rolling landscapes of Guénouvry. At a bend in the path, you will see the Château de Juzet and overlook the Don River as you head towards the village of Tréguély, then return to the chapel.

Hike from the Chapelle des Lieux Saints to the Lizien racecourse in Guémené-Penfao. Magnificent views over the Don valley and the Guénouvry countryside.

A 7 km walk starting from the Chapelle des Lieux Saints in Tahun, Guénouvry, passing through several woods around Tréguély, with magnificent views over the Guénouvry countryside and Conquereuil.

Discover the Oust Valley and the Nantes-Brest Canal, near Redon, and Bains-sur-Oust with this circular route that combines towpaths, forest paths and communal roads. A few high points will give you a magnificent view of Île aux Pies and the Oust Valley.

To cross the geological fold that extends the Landes de Lanvaux, the Oust has carved its way through the rocky plateau to wind its way through the Île aux Pies gorge. Upstream, at the confluence of the Oust and the Aff, the alluvial plain is sometimes dry, sometimes covered in water. You need to choose the right time to set off. Early spring seems to be the best season to fully enjoy the landscapes you pass through... without getting your feet wet.

This is a gentle, enchanting walk that allows you to enjoy the woodland paths and the coolness of the long pond at the 18th-century Moulin de Quip mill.

This circular walk allows you to enjoy the panoramic views of Île-aux-Pies, then head off in search of the Chapel of Saint-Méen, the last remaining vestige of the former Abbey of Busal. It is a place to connect with nature, silence and serenity.

Walk along the edge of the Grande Brière. As you circle the village, you will discover meadows sometimes flooded by the rising spring waters, separated by the canals you will be walking alongside. In Rozé, you can climb up to a viewpoint to enjoy a view of the entire Grande Brière.
