This is a very interesting circular trail, three quarters of which runs along the banks of the Grande Maine and around the Barrage des Bultières reservoir. It often follows paths lined with gorse, broom and hawthorn hedges, which make it particularly pleasant during the spring flowering season.

The island of Borneo, its tropical forests, its white sandy beaches, the South China Sea. But why this name in our Mauges countryside? Borneo was the name once given to a section of this path. Perhaps the name is derived from ‘bornage’ (boundary marking), as this section marks the boundary between Torfou and Montfaucon-Montigné.
