Description of the walk

The starting point is located at the Place du Bicentenaire in Ballan Miré.

(S/E) Park your car in the car park next to Ballan Miré's Bicentennial Square. Take the grassy path opposite the car park. At the end of this path, turn left, then leave the Chesnaie farm on your left and continue straight ahead.

(1) At the bend, ignore the path on the left, which you will take on the way back, and continue straight ahead. Walk past the Beauvais, Gautier and Oucherie woods on your right to reach the Gasniers farm.

(2) Take the path on the left, pass under the power line and cross the railway line. Please note that if you have children or a dog, this path is not protected.

(3) Immediately afterwards, take the path on the left. Pass under the power line again, then turn left to cross the railway line again (always with great caution). Continue to the right and rejoin the original path.

(1) Turn right and follow the outward route back to the starting point (S/E).

The starting point is called "Square du Bicentenaire". I couldn't find it on the map of Ballan Miré...
So I phoned the town hall and was told that this square was opposite 12 Rue de la Chevallerie in Ballan Miré.
So I went on this walk in fine weather and it was very pleasant.

Great for keeping fit.

Not great, and difficult to find the starting point. And the Château de Beauvais is impossible to find.

An easy route, but as it was much more impassable in its entirety, we were unable to complete the circular route and only managed a return trip before crossing the railway line.
Therefore, this route should be attempted in dry weather.

Currently impassable after the place called Les Gasniers, the path is completely covered by water, impossible to pass, I had to turn back. Best to avoid in wet weather.
