Saint-Berthevin walks
Circular Coupeau around the Vicoin
A lovely, easy and picturesque walk around the Vicoin: marked route no. 3. There are many points of interest along the route, including a playground and a leisure centre. There is a dangerous section 500 m along the D500 between the marker (4) and the marker (5). The road can be busy at weekends. Avoid with children.
Fouteau Mabon via the ridge
A lovely walk through countryside and woodland in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Berthevin, with a slight climb, and not very busy. There are some rather picturesque stretches with beautiful flower-lined paths along the Vicoin. With a bit of luck, you might see the sulkies being trained at Fouteau Mabon.
(!) Take care when crossing the main road (7), as it can be very busy at weekends. Best avoided with children.
