Worth a visit

Modern church:
The old church, built in 1875, was badly damaged by a tornado in 1978. It was decided to demolish it and build a modern church in its place, simple in design, with a low bell tower nearby. It was consecrated in 1981.

Hike alternating between paths and roads.
Be careful at the point (2), do not enter the property, but go around it via a barely visible path that crosses a field. Then join the forest road.

Some sections are shared with cars, but most of the route is on paths that are more agricultural than wooded.
I didn't see any signs for points of interest along the way, so here's what I was able to find here and there:

Saint-Lézin

Since December 2015, it has been part of the municipality of Chemillé-en-Anjou, of which it is a delegated municipality.
Its 770 inhabitants are known as Licinien(ne)s.

The Aubance

The Aubance is the main river that flows through the commune of Saint-Lézin.
Please note! This is the name of a stream, a tributary of the Hyrôme, which flows through the territories of Neuvy-en-Mauges, Saint-Lézin and Chemillé-Melay. It has nothing to do with the Aubance river, which is famous for its hillsides renowned for the wines produced there. The Aubance is 35.7 kilometres long and rises at the wash house in the municipality of Louerre in the Saumur region, flowing into a branch of the Loire, the Louet, at Mantelon in the municipality of Denée.
The irony of history is that Saint-Lézin is a commune that does not produce any appellation wines.

The modern church

The old church, built in 1875, was badly damaged by a tornado in 1978. It was decided to demolish it and build a modern church in its place, simple in design, with a low bell tower nearby. It was consecrated in 1981.

A nice little hike. With the rain at the start, our feet were a bit wet but it's a hike worth recommending.
