Departure from Cherrueix (Ille-et-Vilaine)
This is a route with a very distinctive elevation profile: 95% of the route is at sea level, with only the Mont-Dol rising above it.
But the main attractions of this route are, on the one hand, the Bay, a landscape listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, and on the other hand, the 350 km of canals, leats and ditches that help regulate the water level in the marsh.

Departure from Mont-Dol (Ille-et-Vilaine)
Walk along small country roads, with the exception of the coastal stretch near Vivier-sur-Mer. In Vivier-sur-Mer, a point of interest is where the River Guyoult meets three estuaries flowing from the Marias de Dol: the Canal des Planches, the Banche and the Biez de Cardequin. To see them, head to the bridge at the village exit towards Cherrueix.
