La Bouëxière walks
Around Chevré lake
A short trail in Brittany’s countryside with a section along the Veuvre that winds before flowing into Chevré lake. Do not miss the small Roman bridge with its stone arches.
Servon-sur-Vilaine (castle, river and mill)
A pretty, easy, well-marked walk passing by a chapel, the Château du Gué, the Ancienne Fonderie de Servon-sur-Vilaine, the Oratoire Saint-Mathurin, the Vilaine, the old mill, the protected Pas Davy site, the greenhouses (mainly tomatoes) and the calvary. The return journey takes you along a leafy driveway through a housing estate.
The Étang d'Ouée from Gosné
The Étang d’Ouée, the destination of this walk, is a body of water ideal for beginners to canoeing and kayaking. Close to the village of Gosné, the route takes you along quiet country lanes but mainly through sunken lanes, which may have small streams running through the middle after heavy rain.
The circular Chevalerie path in Livré-sur-Changeon
A peaceful, family-friendly walk through the Livré countryside, passing the cemetery and La Chevalerie. There is a shortcut of around 30 minutes for those who prefer a shorter walk. The path is suitable for vehicles from start to finish, so you can access it with a pushchair. There is a stony section which may be difficult for umbrella pushchairs.
Route des étangs, Châteaubourg

The cows’ paddock from the White Cross
A countryside walk between Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier and Livré-sur-Changeon, through fields and woodland, suitable for children, pushchairs with tyres (other than umbrella pushchairs), and dogs. Ideal, therefore, for a family outing.
Route of the Lisière Trail in Marpiré

The Bois de Ruminion in Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier
On this short family walk, you’ll enjoy the ruins of the medieval castle destroyed by the King of France after Brittany lost its independence at the Battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier. Only the side facing France remains....
The Saint-Raoul Fountain in Saint-Sulpice-la-Forêt
One of the most beautiful walks in the Rennes State Forest: centuries-old oaks, tranquil paths, streams, light and shade. Suitable for everyone and in all seasons.
Trees of the forest, you know my soul!...You know, the stone where a beetle scurries,A humble drop of water fallen from flower to flower,A cloud, a bird, occupy me for a whole day.Contemplation fills my heart with love.Victor Hugo.
North of the Maffrais ponds in the Rennes Forest
If you enjoyed the route from La Fontaine Saint-Raoul to Saint-Sulpice-la-Forêt, you’ll like this one too. It’s essentially the same route, but this time to the north of the ponds.
The path winds its way through alternating beech and pine forests, sometimes meandering through the heart of the woodland, sometimes following the wide avenues.
Shade and light for everyone, all year round.
