Departure from Tressé (Ille-et-Vilaine)
This route takes you through wooded and hedgerow landscapes. Running exclusively through the undergrowth, it takes you through the Mesnil State Forest (600 ha), formerly owned by the privateer Surcouf. The paths are well-maintained but numerous, particularly in the southern section; follow the route carefully, ideally using a smartphone, as it is easy to take a wrong turn. The covered walkway, known as ‘La Roche aux Fées’, should not be confused with another walkway of the same name, which is more monumental and located in Janzé.

Departure from Le Tronchet (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A walk starting from the village of Le Tronchet for a route through the Mesnil Forest. A pleasant walk in the shade, passing by the ‘Maison des Fées’ dolmen and then skirting the Étang de Mireloup. With a bit of luck, you’ll come across the Rocher du Diable. To finish, you’ll cross the golf course, but only on authorised paths.

Departure from Dinan (Côtes-d'Armor)
The second stage in the Saint-Malo region, this section links the medieval town of Dinan to the Paramé district, just past the pirate town of Saint-Malo. From the canalised banks of the Rance to Rochebonne beach, you follow the Rance valley – first along the river and then along the coast – until it meets the English Channel. After Saint-Servan, the walk becomes more urban, whilst still offering an almost unbroken view of the sea. In Paramé, it’s a truly luxurious seaside experience!

Departure from Léhon (Côtes-d'Armor)
A long hike for experienced walkers, from Lehon (Côtes-d'Armor), starting at the old Saint-Magloire Abbey (founded in the 9th century) to Saint-Pern (Ille-et-Vilaine), the mother house of the Little Sisters of the Poor. A page of history and religious life waiting to be discovered.
