Departure from Saint-Germain-en-Coglès (Ille-et-Vilaine)
Saint-Germain-en-Coglès, God and Satan regularly meet here as soon as granite appears in a field or water gushes from the stone.
With Le Châtellier hidden behind the woods, the commune of Saint-Germain offers some of the most beautiful stories in the region, which this walk allows you to hear as you wander along the paths.
But beware, these legends are drawn as much from local imagination as from historical truths.

Departure from Baillé (Ille-et-Vilaine)
To the north of Baillé, this walk will take us past the various streams that make up the protected watercourse network designed to supply the Breton capital with drinking water. We will, of course, follow the Minette, but also two of the streams that feed into it: the Frénouse stream and then the Panlivard stream.

Departure from Saint-Étienne-en-Coglès (Ille-et-Vilaine)
You have now arrived in one of the most beautiful settings in the Coglais district: first of all, you’ll discover the Ruisseau de la Piquellerais, then the Ruisseau du Vocadieu, as you cross the magnificent Minette Valley. This small river, 25 km long, is a tributary of the Couesnon, fed by a multitude of streams: the Piquellerais and the Vocadieu, but also the Frénouse, the Aunay, the Couard, and so on.
