Pont-Péan walks
Around Pont Péan, a former mining town
Pont Péan still bears traces of its former mining activity.
A silver lead (or galena) mine was operated there from 1730 to 1797 and from 1844 to 1904.
This route allows you to see some remains of this activity and to walk around the village near the Tellé stream on the edge of the urban and rural areas.

A short hike between ponds and following the Seiche river.
Around Laillé
A beautiful walk through meadows and forest with numerous ponds along the way.
Boël Trail (Sentier du Boël)
A very pleasant hike. First section at the top of cliffs, with lovely views over the Vilaine river and the site "Moulin du Boël". Cross a shady woodland, then return along the towpath.
To avoid as much as possible passing along the military site's fence ("Le Celar"), this new description uses a slightly more technical part of the GR®.
In the Vilaine region between Laillé and Bourg-des-Comptes
This is a beautiful circular that partly follows theGR®39along charming paths. The return journey is along the towpath, going up the Vilaine.
This path takes you through beautiful landscapes, typical villages, charming residences and locks, and ends up running alongside this river, which is so poorly named.

An urban walk where you first stroll along the Vilaine river before crossing two public gardens.

From Saint-Senoux to Pléchatel along the Vilaine
From the charming village of Saint-Senoux, head towards the banks of the Vilaine, first following the Voie Verte and then the other bank overlooking it to discover the green countryside.Some sections are a little challenging, mainly in the southern circular loop (between (4) and (7)). But the panoramic views that greet walkers make it all worthwhile.
La Trotinais in Saint-Senoux
This area, aptly named Pays des Vallons de Vilaine (Land of the Vilaine Valleys), offers a rugged topography that is almost unique in the department and will delight hiking enthusiasts. The La Trotinais route has a total elevation gain of almost 200 metres. The village of Saint-Senoux and its 19th-century parish church of Saint-Abdon, as well as the hamlets of La Trotinais and La Fiolais, are well worth a visit.
Le Tertre Gris on the slopes of the "Volcano"

Seven discovery stations are located along the path near the banks of the Semnon. You will be able to read the landscape from the viewpoint, understand the "Volcano" and the geology of the Tertre, and savour its legends (at the summit and at the foot of the volcano).Please note that this route is not signposted.

A short route with no particular difficulties between Saint-Grégoire and Betton.
No risk of getting lost, just follow the Ille and Rance canal along the towpath on the east bank and then return via the west bank.
