This route of the Couesnon can be divided into two parts: a circular route to the west and another to the east, the latter of which can be shortened.
The Couesnon has a very winding course as it crosses the granite massif. Its limestone-free water was used for a long time in paper mills in the 17th century. With this industry now gone, the Couesnon is a delight for salmonids and kayakers alike.

Departure from Mézières-sur-Couesnon (Ille-et-Vilaine)
This walk along the banks of the Couesnon, which runs parallel to another route already suggested, is shorter and slightly more challenging due to the elevation gain. This route favours paths on higher ground rather than those along the riverbank. A distinctive feature is that it is 100% trail, meaning no tarmac except for one road crossing.
