Isigny-le-Buat walks
Bardet Route
Route from the bar "l'Autre Café" in Bardet, then return to the bar car park via the village of communal lodges "le Bel Orient".
Landscapes and colours in the Monthault region
The Monthault Rock is a place where two faiths coexist: come and discover some Celtic legends which, thanks to the presence of distinctive rocks, have endured through the centuries, with the Chapel of Notre-Dame – the final stop on a Way of the Cross through the woods – as its neighbour.
From canvas to agriculture in Saint-Georges-de-Reintembault
Alternating between hedgerow landscapes, sunken lanes, granite boulders, woods, wetlands and walks through villages with distinctive architecture, this route weaves a link between the history of flax and hemp – once cultivated on these lands – and modern-day farming. Information panels are placed along the route.
Around Val-Saint-Père, following the mouth of the Sélune
How lovely it is to walk on a carpet of greenery known locally as the ‘Herbus’ – meadows that are submerged at spring tides, giving the grass a salty flavour, which is essential fodder for the sheep! What’s more, after passing through the charming village of Val-Saint-Père, the eye is treated to the majestic sight of Mont-Saint-Michel, which rises to the west between the Pointe du Grouin du Sud on the right and the Pointe de Roche Torin on the left.
Short circular loop in Saint-Brice
A short walk starting from Saint-Brice near Avranches with lovely views over the Sée valley.
The Morinais route
Several quarries dot this route. Whether they are still in operation, such as the Morinais quarry, or partly overgrown with vegetation, they all seem to still echo with the hammering sounds of decades past.
The granite quarried here was used for roadworks, by funeral firms, and also in local architecture. The mysterious beauty of the Morinaye manor house and the typical rural houses in the villages you will pass through bear witness to this.
Along the Beuvron in Saint-James
This easy and very pleasant route along the banks of the Beuvron was suggested by the Saint-James Children's Municipal Council.
It also passes close to the American military cemetery, allowing for a short extension to the walk.
Via La Belle Eau from Mortain-Bocage
Although "Belle Eau" is the name of a hamlet located at the northernmost point of this route, hikers will be amazed from the outset by the water gushing through the rocks in magnificent waterfalls. The route continues along wide paths, often bathed by runoff water from the various branches of the Cance, and ends on a high note with the panorama offered at altitude 314, famous not only for its small chapel but also for the battles that took place there in August 1944.
Along the Airon from Landivy
With one foot in Normandy and one in Brittany, this trail offers some truly stunning views. After taking in the panoramic scenery, you’ll wind your way through the shaded paths along the Futaie Valley.
As far as Mausson Castle, staying within the Bazouge region
Tree-lined paths running alongside a river lead to the château. The return route mainly follows a winding path through the fields.
From Pontmain to Pont Dom Guérin
This route takes you into the Parc des Oblats and its arboretum, then along a shaded path by the water’s edge leading to Mausson Castle, which is privately owned but can be admired from the outside. Pontmain is an important place of pilgrimage to Our Lady of Pontmain, who appeared to several children on 17 January 1871.
The descent from Mont Noël along the Ruisseau des Échelles
On the edge of the Coglais, a charming route combining a walk along a stream with paths through green hills and sunken lanes.
The crosses and wayside shrines of Montours
A Breton speciality: this route is dotted with several wayside crucifixes and granite crosses. It also offers magnificent views of the Coglais region, but above all, on a clear day, provides an exceptional vantage point looking north as far as the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and west over the hills of the Fougères hinterland.
At the edge of the Gâtines, starting from La-Selle-en-Coglès
This circuit symbolically unites two regions by linking the Moulin de Champ Pinel (Brittany) to the Moulin de Roche Garé (Normandy), as this is where the Tronçon river marks the departmental and therefore regional boundary. You will pass through a variety of landscapes as you walk along a beautiful section of the Bois de Gâtines forest and alongside the Château du Rocher Portail, not forgetting to take the opportunity to discover the village of La-Selle-en-Coglès (the monastery of the North).
The sunken lanes of La Dorée
The Mayenne is a land of pastures where plots of land remain small. There are numerous sunken lanes here, and you are invited to explore several of them.
One slight drawback: due to their nature, there is no continuity. Walkers will therefore have to accept walking some distances on tarmac roads.
Les rabines de Courtine
Une rabine désignait autrefois un chemin large et bordé d'arbres. Le circuit en emprunte à plusieurs reprises. Il suit également un petit ruisseau et permet d'apercevoir plusieurs châteaux car il emprunte des sentiers communs à une autre randonnée décrite sur le site au départ de Saint-Brice-en-Coglès.
The castles of Coglais
This circuit allows you to discover the architectural side of the Coglais region. It offers breathtaking views of the manor houses and châteaux and their estates. It should be remembered that in the Middle Ages, the Seigneury of Saint-Brice was of exceptional importance in the barony of Fougères. Later, in 1794, it was here that the first Chouannerie began, as did the second in 1815.
On the way to La Lucerne Abbey
From the Saint-Jacques district, very close to La Haye-Pesnel but in the commune of La Lucerne d’Outremer, you reach Le Mesnil-Drey and then the former Abbey of La Lucerne through the forest of the same name... and, zigzagging through the hedgerows of La Rochelle-Normande, you come to the Pelotin car park on the site of the old station.
