A tour around the village of Sel-de-Bretagne, allowing you to enjoy the rural paths preserved thanks to the efforts of Eugène Aulnette, a historic figure in the village.

This unmarked route will allow you to explore the southern part of the village of Tresbœuf.
It also follows paths through the villages of Lalleu and La Bosse-de-Bretagne. A few paths have escaped land consolidation, but despite this, half of the route is tarmac.

Seven discovery stations are located along the path near the banks of the Semnon.

I suggest you discover this charming little town and its lake in an original way, by taking the small side roads.
Small change due to a ban on crossing the small wood next to the Moulin de Bertaud.

From the charming village of Saint-Senoux, head towards the banks of the Vilaine, first following the Voie Verte and then the other bank overlooking it to discover the green countryside.Some sections are a little challenging, mainly in the southern circular loop (between (4) and (7)).

Departure from Saint-Senoux (Ille-et-Vilaine)
This area, aptly named Pays des Vallons de Vilaine (Land of the Vilaine Valleys), offers a rugged topography that is almost unique in the department and will delight hiking enthusiasts. The La Trotinais route has a total elevation gain of almost 200 metres. The village of Saint-Senoux and its 19th-century parish church of Saint-Abdon, as well as the hamlets of La Trotinais and La Fiolais, are well worth a visit.

Departure from Guichen (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A very pleasant hike. First section at the top of cliffs, with lovely views over the Vilaine river and the site "Moulin du Boël". Cross a shady woodland, then return along the towpath.
To avoid as much as possible passing along the military site's fence ("Le Celar"), this new description uses a slightly more technical part of the GR®.

Departure from Rougé (Loire-Atlantique)
Rougé takes its name from the colour of the soil. Set off to explore the iron route, which partly follows the old railway line through the Brutz valley, crossing landscapes of moorland and hedgerows. You will see the site of the old iron mines, which were worked by the Celts and Gallo-Romans. You will notice the red colour of some of the paths, a sign of the presence of iron ore in the region. The same is true, in places, of the water in the streams.

Easy
Departure from Bruz (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A peaceful, shaded walk through the heart of the Bois de Cicé, taking you past numerous ponds lined with facilities for anglers and walkers. Please note, it will be difficult to get through certain sections with a pushchair. If you prefer more accessible paths, it is best to take the central path, which leads to the towpath. The ponds originated from a former gravel pit that supplied building materials to the city of Rennes.
