Access: In the village of Le Longeron, south-west of the church, take Impasse de Gallard towards the wash house. Pass in front of a house with a magnificent trompe-l'œil painted façade. Shortly afterwards, you will see the wash house on your right. Park there.
Please note: this route is not marked.
(S/E) On foot, continue down this small shaded road. You will arrive opposite the old entrance to the textile factory. Take the path that descends to the right (marked in yellow and red "GRP®"). This short path leads to a road.
(1) The current factory entrance is on the left. Take the road on the right, which runs alongside the Sèvre and leads to a larger road, the D111e. Turn right onto this road and continue to the bend (Caution! This section of road, although signposted, is not safe enough for pedestrians as it is located just behind a bend. Stay on the left-hand side and step onto the grass when a car approaches).
(2) At the entrance to the bend, turn left onto the path. Continue across several barriers to reach the banks of the Sèvre again. Further on, you will arrive at the Moulin de la Roche site.
(3) Cross the Sèvre to explore this mill and its farm, which have been converted into a lodge, more closely.
(4) Cross the Sèvre again.
(3) Back on the right bank of the Sèvre, take the path on the left. Further on, ignore a path that branches off to the right and, just after, cross a stream over a bridge.
(5) The path turns right just after this and climbs uphill. It turns sharply left and becomes flat again. Further on, the path turns left and then right.
(6) Walk along the wall of the Château de Couboureau estate to reach a small road. Turn left, then take the path on the right towards the Roman road.
(7) The path turns left. Shortly afterwards, on the left, there is another entrance to the estate. Continue straight ahead on this old Roman road, which descends and joins the Sèvre after a right-hand bend.
(8) You will reach a road at the hamlet of Le Foulon. Continue along the banks of the Sèvre to reach a larger road, Rue de la Vallée. Take this road on the left to cross the Sèvre and continue to the entrance to the Château de Tiffauges
(9) Turn around and, taking the same route (except for the detour to Moulin de la Roche), return to the starting point (S/E).
