Description of the walk

Start from the car park behind La Poitevinière church.

(S/E) Head towards the pond, cross the footbridge over the Le Rez Profond stream, then turn right at the second footbridge and walk alongside the wash house, then turn left onto Rue Perdriau.

(1) At the calvary, turn right onto the path. Pass the Fortassaut farm, then the Désertiére farm to reach the crossroads, which is the start of the circular route.

(2) Continue straight ahead and cross the Ruisseau du Planty stream. Then cross the Grande Bouère path and reach the Cerisier farm. Walk along the left side of the Cormier farm and follow the path to reach the D15 road.

(3) Cross the D15, passing in front of the Portreux and Ortonnière farms.

(4) When the road turns left, take the path on the right. Continue straight ahead until you reach the first path on the right.

(5) At the crossroads, turn right onto the small sunken path that descends towards the Moulin de Deureux. Cross the Rez Profond and continue to the right on the tarmac path leading up to the mill.

(6) At the top, at the T-junction, turn right and follow the path that leads to the Mesnil farm.

(7) Cross this farm: take the first path on the left, then the first path on the right. Then pass Moulin Neuf, cross Rez Profond again, and arrive at Gué Haussang (old chapel on the right).

(8) Continue along the path to the north-east until you reach the D15.

(9) Cross the road, enter opposite the methanisation plant, walk along the hedge parallel to the road on the right for about 150 metres, and take the first path on the left to arrive at the crossroads at the start of the circular route.

(2) Turn left onto the path you took on the way out.

(1) Turn left onto Rue Perdriau, then right and finally left at the wash house to return to the starting point (S/E).

On site, signage is almost non-existent. Fortunately, the Visorando app allows us to navigate without difficulty.
Lack of maintenance. A bit of road, but well compensated for by pretty, shaded sunken paths. Very pleasant.

It's a shame there's so much driving involved, as it's dangerous with children

Signage problem. We start with red signage and continue with yellow ? The markings do not follow the route suggested on the map (are they backwards?). There are not enough markings on the route, making it very difficult to follow the path. At a place called "Le Mesnil", we got lost. We crossed too many farms (livestock buildings, etc.). The section along the RD is dangerous.
Positive points: a few paths through the woods and views of the Poitevinière and the countryside.

There is something for everyone for nature lovers: forests, fields, farms, and a few panoramic views.

I did this hike at the end of June in the heat... which was a mistake, as I wasn't cold at all! I regret the number of road crossings (fortunately not very busy, except for a small section) and the number of open sections in direct sunlight, which are best done in the morning or evening to better appreciate them.

A beautiful, easy hike, best done in the morning as the current temperatures mean there are sections in direct sunlight.
To be repeated in autumn to enjoy the colours of the trees.

The first time we used Visorando, we went on a beautiful hike, following the description (we realised after the hike that we shouldn't have followed the markings), and we enjoyed this hike, which was different from the usual trails. Thank you.
