Mauléon walks

A pleasant walk along small roads and paths through hedgerows, by the river and through woodland.

Superb walk along paths beside the Sèvre Nantaise, which you cross via two unusual crossings, and visit the pretty village of Mallièvre.

An easy walk through the countryside and along the shores of Lac du Verdon. A good warm-up before walking around the lake.

The circular route starts at Les Épesses and heads towards the Bois des Jarries. After reaching the summit, you will pass through Saint-Mars-la-Réorthe and walk alongside the Puy du Fou Park to return to the starting point. The walk is not difficult, except in the Bois des Jarries where you need to keep your bearings due to the many paths.

This hike is not particularly difficult, except for some very wet sections (at the bottom of the fields) in winter. The route is easy to follow, mostly along the edge of the lake.

Rochard is a tourist village located in the commune of Mortagne-sur-Sèvre. The village has picnic areas and is crossed by the Sèvre river.

An easy walk. A mix of small roads, tracks and various paths. Fairly shaded: the Chemin du Port is very pleasant. Warning! The proximity of the Sèvre Nantaise stream means this walk may be difficult or even impossible during periods of high water or flooding.

A pleasant walk from the Pont du Carteron to Lac de Ribou, following the Moine, the motorway and the campsite. Return via the dam.

Promenade-découverte de Pouzauges de son centre ville, du Bois de la Folie et du Lac de l'Espérance.

Discover the Moine, a calm river that winds through a green landscape. It is hard to believe today that it was once the most polluted river in France. On the route: a water mill, a windmill, a stream, a tributary of the Moine, and a botanical trail.

A long walk around Trémentines, along the Èvre, starting with the Sentier Végétal de l'Èvre, then along paths and small roads that wind around farms, fields and properties, ending with the streets, alleys and cul-de-sacs of Trémentines.

This loop will take you past countless (private) ponds, mostly through woodland. As its name suggests, the path can be muddy, especially in wet weather.This hike is best done in summer, when the paths are shaded and less muddy.There are many variations that allow you to shorten the loop.

Walk in and around Trémentines from the hamlet of L’Étang: head down towards the Old Bridge, then follow the meandering course of the River Èvre, go round the ruins of Château de la Forêterie and return via the Étang de la Florancière.

The Èvre, the river that flows through the Mauges region before joining the Loire near Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, provides a pleasant setting for walks through vibrant farmland. La Bouëre de l'Èvre is a lovely lake that has been developed for leisure and fishing; it is accessible on foot from the village, about 800m away.

A beautiful loop, passing by two beautiful bodies of water, around Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges and Saint-André-de-la-Marche, forming the commune of Sèvremoine, alternating between main roads (very few), small roads, dirt tracks for tractors, and a few footpaths.

A lovely walk featuring stream crossings and passing by large bodies of water such as the Étang de Green Cross. You’ll have the chance to discover the largest standing stone in Anjou. On site, you’ll find the legends surrounding this imposing menhir, explained on information panels.
