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.
The Moulin Route in Broons-sur-Vilaine
The charming little village of Broons, whose church was built using stone from the quarries in the Corbière Forest. A mill, the edge of the forest, ponds, a beautiful sunken path and distant views towards the south at Les Quatre Vents add to the charm of this idyllic route, which holds the FFRandonnée label.

Route de la Vilaine, Saint-Didier
Take a stroll through the countryside around Saint-Didier on this route which runs alongside a stretch of the River Vilaine. You’ll pass close to the Peinière Chapel, a place of pilgrimage which, every 15 August and on the Sunday closest to the Feast of the Nativity in early September, attracts thousands of Catholics from across the department (and even beyond) to celebrate the Virgin Mary. Stop for a moment to admire the mosaics created by the Odorico brothers that adorn the altars.
In the Corbière Forest, starting from Saint-Jean-sur-Vilaine
Wide forest lanes, a walk through the woods where only birdsong can be heard, plus a pond where large waterbirds reign supreme and fish provide their meal – this is the ultimate aim of this walk, which will end as it began: on sunken paths through the bocage, with very little tarmac.

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.
Route of the Lisière Trail in Marpiré
After walking through the undergrowth of the Chevré Forest, you will discover this vast plateau via wide paths and small country lanes, where fields of grain blend with green meadows, ending as you began with a walk through the Bois de Briérue and the Orée du Bois lake near La Lisière.
Route de Saint-Martin in Nouvoitou
This 8.7 km walk allows you to enjoy the idyllic countryside of Nouvoitou. It initially follows the River Yaigne for around 1.5 km as it crosses the village from east to west. Presenting no particular difficulties, this route is also suitable for winter walking, despite four or five short sections that may be muddy. Around 25 per cent of this route follows country lanes that are not used by through traffic, and the yellow and purple signposting is very clear.
The Saint-Raoul Fountain in Saint-Sulpice-la-Forêt
One of the most beautiful walks in the Rennes State Forest: centuries-old oaks, tranquil paths, streams, light and shade. Suitable for everyone and in all seasons.
Trees of the forest, you know my soul!...You know, the stone where a beetle scurries,A humble drop of water fallen from flower to flower,A cloud, a bird, occupy me for a whole day.Contemplation fills my heart with love.Victor Hugo.
North of the Maffrais ponds in the Rennes Forest
If you enjoyed the route from La Fontaine Saint-Raoul to Saint-Sulpice-la-Forêt, you’ll like this one too. It’s essentially the same route, but this time to the north of the ponds.
The path winds its way through alternating beech and pine forests, sometimes meandering through the heart of the woodland, sometimes following the wide avenues.
Shade and light for everyone, all year round.
The circular Chevalerie path in Livré-sur-Changeon
A peaceful, family-friendly walk through the Livré countryside, passing the cemetery and La Chevalerie. There is a shortcut of around 30 minutes for those who prefer a shorter walk. The path is suitable for vehicles from start to finish, so you can access it with a pushchair. There is a stony section which may be difficult for umbrella pushchairs.
