Saint-Pierre-la-Cour walks

The Haute Vilaine Lake covers an area of 155 hectares and holds 8 million cubic metres of water, with a maximum depth of 13 metres. Created in 1982, its purpose is to regulate winter floods on the Vilaine for Vitré and Rennes, located downstream. Walking around the lake allows you to enjoy the lake and the forest paths.

Discover the countryside around Saint-M'Hervé with this route, which takes you to the east of the village.

An easy walk starting from Genest-Saint-Isle, with very little elevation gain. The paths are beautiful, and you may see deer. In rainy weather, two or three sections are flooded for a few metres, but you can get around this by walking along the edge of the adjacent field. A beautiful finish along a pretty little stream.

Wolves were very common in Brittany until the 19th century. The Argentré-du-Plessis region was no exception. Although its refuge was the Pertre forest, which we will cross in its western part, its hunting ground extended over the entire municipality, as evidenced by the names of certain localities such as Louveaudière, Cul de Loup and even the Bois de Noirloup, which we will pass by. But you can hike in complete safety, as the wolf has been extinct in the region for over a century.

The village of Argentré-du-Plessis lived for five centuries in the shadow of the Château du Plessis. This family remained the owners of almost the entire village until the early 20th century, and Alain d’Argentré was mayor until 1983. You will pass close to the Château du Plessis during this walk. Route certified by FFRandonnée. Suitable for both walking and cycling.

This route is the first stage of a 96 km circular through the Vitré countryside. Consisting mainly of sunken lanes, this route will take you, among other places, to the Château des Rochers-Sévigné and the Valière lake.

Stroll through the historical heart of Vitré, city of art and history, with its medieval streets and alleys. Wander in quest of the heritage wonders with this trail.

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.

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.

The Vassé Pond was created as ecological compensation for the construction of the Paris-Rennes high-speed rail line. There are educational panels on biodiversity and an old manor house. Many animals have found a home here, including sheep, Scottish cows, donkeys and ducks. Picnic tables, dry toilets, a shelter and a barbecue area are available.
