Leave your car at the starting point car park near the RD69. The route you will take is signposted in both directions in yellow according to the standards of the FFRP.
(S/F) Facing the sign at the start, turn left and walk along the small canal for a few metres. At the road, turn immediately right towards the village of La Belletière.
As soon as you arrive in the village, take the lane opposite before the bend in the road. Continue straight for 300 m to reach the RD69 and the village of La Marchanderie. At the intersection, turn left and go straight for 200 metres walking on the left side of the RD69 (take care).
At the end of the village (1) take the path on your right and continue straight. You pass under the arches called Pre Boursier. In a loop on the right (2), reach the small canal.
Arrive at the canal, cross the bridge and take the path in front of you. At the end of the path (3), turn left and then take the next right. Continue on the road for about 600 m. On your right you see the Castle of La Lucinière and its woodlands on the other side of the Valley of Erdre.
Then take the path down to the canal on the right. Reach the canal (4), turn left and continue straight. You will pass over the arches of Gué de la Roche. Just before the next bridge over the canal (5) turn right and join the road by the opening in the hedge. Take another right and head down to the Erdre River.
At the end of the road, turn right and you will be back at the arches (picnic area nearby). Arrive at the arches, take an immediate right and go up the steep path. At the top, turn left and turn back in the opposite direction.
Continue straight ahead along the small canal. Go to the hamlet of La Rivière aux Simons (6), then the arcades called the Pré Boursier. A little further on, note in against the bottom of the canal on the left the Quiquengrogne water mill. Then cross the RD69 (7) (be careful) and reach the starting point (S/F) by heading along the canal again.
