Saint-Vincent-sur-Oust Day 1/2
This first day of a two-day route will take us up the River Oust via the upper reaches. We’ll be walking above the river, offering lovely views of Île aux Pies.
The final stretch will be mainly through woodland and meadows.
The tour of Île aux Pies, starting from La Potinais
To cross the geological fold that extends the Landes de Lanvaux, the Oust has carved its way through the rocky plateau to wind its way through the Île aux Pies gorge. Upstream, at the confluence of the Oust and the Aff, the alluvial plain is sometimes dry, sometimes covered in water. You need to choose the right time to set off. Early spring seems to be the best season to fully enjoy the landscapes you pass through... without getting your feet wet.
Along the Oust to discover the Chapel of Saint-Méen
This circular walk allows you to enjoy the panoramic views of Île-aux-Pies, then head off in search of the Chapel of Saint-Méen, the last remaining vestige of the former Abbey of Busal.
It is a place to connect with nature, silence and serenity.

Île aux Pies and Vallée de l'Oust
Discover the Oust Valley and the Nantes-Brest Canal, near Redon, and Bains-sur-Oust with this circular route that combines towpaths, forest paths and communal roads.
A few high points will give you a magnificent view of Île aux Pies and the Oust Valley.
From La Gacilly to the Chapel of Saint-Jugon via the Black Forest
Starting from the marina, we begin by following the banks of the Aff, a charming little Breton river. Then, crossing the Forêt Neuve, we cross the Ruisseau des Brelles to enter the Forêt Noire. At the end of the path, we can stop for refreshments in the shade of the Chapelle Saint-Jugon.
The return journey is just as peaceful, taking the sunken lanes and ending up in the streets where the craftspeople's stalls are well worth stopping at.
The Saint-Jugon Chapel via the Black Forest
La Gacilly is, first and foremost, a bridge spanning the River Aff, where the river winds its way between two wooded hills. By climbing the hill overlooking the town to the west, you can enjoy a lovely circular walk through a densely wooded landscape. The Saint-Jugon Chapel, nestled in its green surroundings, is a lovely spot to stop for a break halfway along the route.
The Gannedel and Massérac Marshes
Upstream from Redon, the Vilaine valley stretches out between the hillsides that flank it to the north and south. Vast expanses of wild or cultivated marshland follow one another, through the midst of which the river flows.
Cycling along the small roads that wind around these marshes is a refreshing way to explore the area and its villages, away from the main roads.
Tour of the Étang du Val
Walk around the Étang du Val, crossing the Lande de Cojoux and then skirting the Château du Val.
Étang du Val and megaliths in Saint-Just
Walk along the Étang du Val, then along the river, under the cover of the forest, then climb up to the plateau in the moorland to explore the varied megaliths of this exceptional site. There are many paths on the site, offering numerous possible variations.
The Saint-Pierre Cross at the Saint-Just megalithic alignments
It’s a short walk suitable for children and ideal for families, whatever the season.
This short circular loop runs along the western side of the Allée des Demoiselles de Cojoux, offering a view over the Étang du Val.
Adults can extend the walk by heading east to see the famous Demoiselles de Cojoux and the Alignements du Moulin.
Finally, it’s well worth rounding off the walk by exploring the magnificent Allée Couverte de Tréal, which is just a 3-minute drive away.
The Oust Valley towards Malestroit: between towpath and greenway
The Oust Valley is designated a “Grand Site National”, and cycling through it is a great way to explore it.
The Malestroit region offers several ways to explore it, whether by following the Nantes-Brest Canal along the towpath, or by crossing the countryside along the Voie Verte, a cycle path built on the former Questembert-Mauron railway line.
Around the Roho Mill and the Saint-Dolay marshes
Saint-Dolay features the typical landscapes of the region, though with a notable abundance of water and mills.This runoff and surface water has created marshes and ponds around the Moulin de Roho.This circular route is part ofthe PR®® known as the Boucle du Marais de Roho.
Circuit de Trévineuc
Le port de Foleux marque la limite occidentale des marais de Redon. À cet endroit, la Vilaine se resserre et se fraie un passage entre les reliefs du Sillon de Bretagne. Le circuit proposé permet de découvrir la rive Sud de ce goulet. Il parcourt le bord de l'eau et joue aux montagnes russes à travers le relief assez accidenté de Nivillac.
Route from the Chapel of Saint-André
The commune of Péaule is located on a plateau that has been carved out by rivers, creating valleys of varying depths. In the eastern part of the commune, these valleys, which lead towards the Vilaine, create a forest atmosphere that is pleasant to walk through. Deciduous trees on the slopes and at the bottom of the valley, and conifers on the moors at the top, provide the setting for this well-shaded walk, where sunken paths give way to tree-lined avenues.
Saint-Cornely route
Saint Cornely is the patron saint of horned animals. It is therefore fitting that his chapel is located in a very agricultural part of Péaule. But during this walk, which criss-crosses the plateau above the Vilaine, you will have other things to do than count cows and other quadrupeds. Keep your eyes open, there is much to see in this meander of the Vilaine
