Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier walks
La Roche Piquée in Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier
A very pleasant walk in the forest of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier with a return to the pond. Walkers can continue their visit to this small town by pushing on to the ruins of the dismantled castle.
The Couesnon Valley
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.
Couesnon Valley
The Couesnon river meanders through a deep valley, home to ancient mills.
The forest of Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux
A return trip from Saint-Ouen-des-Alleux to Saint-Christophe-de-Vilains through a lush forest, offering views of an old stone bridge spanning the Minette.
Around Chevré lake
A short trail in Brittany’s countryside with a section along the Veuvre that winds before flowing into Chevré lake. Do not miss the small Roman bridge with its stone arches.
Around Gahard
A superb route with panoramic views of the forest. This route is accessible to all.
Route of the quarries along the Couesnon
After walking along the Couesnon, which is calm and peaceful on this section, walkers are invited to discover a small stream that feeds it: the Vallées d'Hervé stream. Then, despite a few open sections, walkers will appreciate the peaceful shade of the undergrowth and sunken paths.
The Couesnon and the Minette
4-hour hike (hence its medium difficulty). A little road and quite a few paths. You will cross the Couesnon and Minette valleys.
La Boé
An easy hike with very little road. A little wet in places in winter, but still a very pleasant hike with lovely views.
Servon-sur-Vilaine (castle, river and mill)
A pretty, easy, well-marked walk passing by a chapel, the Château du Gué, the Ancienne Fonderie de Servon-sur-Vilaine, the Oratoire Saint-Mathurin, the Vilaine, the old mill, the protected Pas Davy site, the greenhouses (mainly tomatoes) and the calvary. The return journey takes you along a leafy driveway through a housing estate.
Route des étangs, Châteaubourg
This route will take you through the Châteaubourg countryside where, as its name suggests, there are several ponds: Pont de Pierre Pond, Roches Bises Pond and Grand Fayelle Pond. You will also walk along a small section of the Corbière Forest.
This route is FFRandonnée certified. It can be done on foot or by bike.
The Cantache tour in Pocé-les-Bois
A stone's throw from Vitré, a historic town in the Marches de Bretagne region, Lake Cantache stretches across three municipalities: Champeaux, Monteuil-sous-Pérouse and Pocé-les-Bois. A winter stopover for migratory birds, their presence is a source of wonder.
Tour d'Acigné
A short walk along the banks of the Vilaine and Chevré rivers, also known as La Veuvre, taking you around Acigné. Please note that during periods of heavy rain, some parts of the route may be flooded.
Legends of the Coglais region
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.
The Devil has taken up residence at Le Châtellier.
The legend of the Smoking Stone, also known as the Devil's Rock, says that when the Devil is hungry, he makes the stone smoke by baking his cake between the enormous blocks of rock that form a cave. This circular loop will take you from legendary places to sacred sites. It would be the devil's work if you didn't reach the gates of the Domaine de la Foltière, the kingdom of flowers in the Parc Floral de Haute-Bretagne.
