Description of the walk

Departure from Brancaire, car park on the edge of the D85 near the Yon.

(S/E) Cross the D85 and follow the Yon to the Moulin de Rambourg.

(1) To cross the Yon, you can either walk across the submerged road (with your feet in the water) or take the bridge. Walk past the campsite and turn left at the top of the road. You will see the start of a path in front of you.

(2): Leave the road and take this path on the right. This will take you to the village of Nesmy.

(3) At the end of this path, turn left and walk alongside the water treatment plant. At the end of this path, turn right onto a small road. You will arrive in the village of Nesmy, which you will cross (on your right).

(5) Pass in front of the church and shops and cross the entire village, staying on the same road.

(5) Turn right just before the level crossing and you will come to a fork in the road.

(6) Turn left and follow the railway line as closely as possible. At the end of this path, pass to the right of a bridge that crosses over the railway line.

(7) Continue straight ahead, cross the road and join a new path. You will lose sight of the railway line for a few moments.

(8) At the end of this path, turn left, then right, then left again onto a small road. You will see the railway line again and pass under it through a small tunnel.

(9) After about 100 metres, turn right at the intersection and continue straight ahead for about 600 metres, passing over a stream and in front of a large farm. Continue straight ahead and leave the path for a woodland trail. Stay on this path for about 400-500 metres. You will find yourself below the motorway (on your left).

(10) Go back under the railway line and over the Yon and take the path on the right at the house on the bank of the Yon. Follow the river again for about 1.5 km to return to your starting point (S/E).

A beautiful country walk in glorious sunshine, with cows, calves, otters and birds along the banks of the River Yon.
It's a change of scenery and very peaceful.
Cons: at the start of the walk, there is a 1.5 km stretch of road to reach the path;
Best done in dry weather as some parts of the path are muddy!

Quite a lot of traffic because the weather was very nice and warm. Trail less than 10 km from La Roche.
A very beautiful walk along the Yon and through Nesmy.
We wanted to take a shortcut and ended up on a very busy road, so we went back to the footpaths. In the end, we should have followed the route!

Best done with a picnic.

25% of the route runs alongside the River Yon with some very wet (muddy) sections
1.5 km crossing of the village on asphalt pavements: not particularly interesting
The rest on clean country lanes

You can start from the stadium car park (plenty of spaces); to avoid following Rue de Lattre de Tassigny (between points 4 and 5) and then the railway station, where there is heavy traffic, head south from the stadium along Rue de la Greffière and join the southern Nesmy route (signposted) to reach Nesmy railway station via small streets and footpaths.
Between points 8 and 9, you can turn right after the small tunnel onto a path rather than a road.
Between points 1 and 2, the path along the River Yon may be flooded in the event of heavy rain.
Things to see in Nesmy: next to the stadium car park, the famous Nesmy pottery; the beautiful 18-hole Domangère golf course; the Nesmy castle grounds; and, on the way, the restored Rambourg mill, which is in working order and open to visitors.

Hike around Nesmy 85310, easy and very pleasant

Follow the Visorando description exclusively.

Numerous local signposts (in poor condition) can be confusing.

Thank you mem85
When hiking, you should always take a map with you. Visorando provides a detailed description and an extract from an IGN map in its PDF document. This is the minimum you should have with you.
As for the markings, we're sorry, but we're not experts in that area.

signposting needs reviewing; without a map, it is impossible to complete the circuit
