Departure from the car park of the But and Centrakor shops, Route de Pouancé in Segré.
(S/E) Cross the roundabout and take the path opposite. It runs alongside a sports area and a golf course.
(1) Then take the path on the right. Continue to the Oudon and walk along the river. You can see gardens on the other bank. Continue along this path which runs alongside the Oudon.
(2) Pass a footbridge on your left that allows you to cross to the other bank and continue along the riverbank to the car park of a restaurant. Cross this car park, which leads up to Rue Emile Zola.
(3) Turn left onto Rue Émile Zola. Continue straight on until you reach Rue Victor Hugo, turn left and immediately, at the entrance to the bridge, turn right onto the Promenade passageway which leads down to the banks of the Oudon.

(11) At the beginning of Rue Jules Ferry, turn left and follow Rue Saint-Joseph to the small Saint-Sauveur Church. Go around the church on the left and go down the steps . Be careful as the steps are uneven and can be dangerous if the ground is wet. In this case, go around the church on the right and go down the street until you reach the path. Take the small path on the right, Ruelle du Château, cross Rue Pasteur and Rue Victor Hugo via Rue Courte, cross the bridge over the Oudon and arrive at Quai de Lauingen.

(2) At the end of the footbridge, turn right onto the second path, which goes uphill. At the top of the path, turn left and then right onto a paved section. Cross the pedestrian crossing on Route de Pouancé and follow the path on the right that runs alongside Route de Pouancé until you reach the roundabout near the car park where you started. Follow the pedestrian crossing to return to this car park (S/E).
Great walk to discover Segré, shame it's not a marked route. We wasted time at certain points.
