Car park at La Vicomté-sur-Rance Town Hall.
The entire route is marked in yellow.
(S/E) Leave the car park and take Rue de la Mairie on the left. At the roundabout, take the path lined with pruned oak trees opposite. Join a small road and continue on the right. At the crossroads near a farm, keep right on the road and enter Le Châtelier via Rue des Fresches.
(1) Turn left onto Rue de l'Éperon Barré. Continue straight ahead on the gravel path. Turn right (see note below) onto the first path and descend towards the banks of the Rance.
Go around Éperon Barré. At the slipway, enjoy the view of the Rance and after 50 metres, follow the street to the left to return to the crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Turn left onto Rue du Mont Joly, then left again onto Impasse du Val. After 20 m, take a small path that descends to the right. After crossing a stream, climb back up to the road. Turn left.
(2) At the highest point of the road, at a place called Foumoy (altitude 51 m), in the slight right-hand bend, enjoy the view with Dinan and Taden on the left bank on the horizon.
(3) Before the first house in La Ville ès Pois, take the sunken lane on the left. At the calvary, continue straight on along Rue des Vignes and, when you reach the banks of the Rance, turn right onto Rue du Port.
(4) Go under the bridge, cross the barrier and continue along the path. Cross the stream on the left via a ford and continue to the left to overlook the banks of the Rance. Go under the Pont de Lessard (railway bridge). Continue along the river.
(5) The path becomes a road as it veers to the right. Go around the Morgrève mudflat by turning left to cross the waterway and then turn left again to rejoin the banks of the Rance. Continue to the mill.
(6) At Moulin du Prat, admire the view of the Rance one last time and continue along the path. It doesn't matter whether you turn right or left, as both directions meet up a few hundred metres further on. You will reach Ville Hervy. Turn right and follow the road south, then south-west.
As you approach the houses of La Vieille Vicomté, turn left. At the bend, continue straight ahead on Chemin des Ruettes. At the end of the road, turn right and cross the railway line.
(7) Turn left and follow the path that runs alongside the railway line. After a section through the woods, turn right at the edge of the woods. Continue along this path, which ends at Route de la Source. Follow it to the left for 200 m.
(8) Turn right towards La Ville Bennefray. Take the first road on the left. At the end of the road, continue straight ahead along the sunken lane. When you reach another lane, turn right, then right again, and you will reach the lane covered by a gap on the left, thirty metres before the road. Join the D795.
(9) Follow the road to the right for about 100 metres and turn right towards La Basse Lande. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead. Ignore a street on the left and take the next one on the right. Cross the hamlet of Launay-Jannais. After the sports field, turn left and head for the Town Hall car park (S/E).
