A fairly urban route in this very green and wooded municipality, flat and with clean paths. The section along the Vilaine river is pleasant. Quite busy on this July afternoon.

A pleasant hike around Acigné. The paths are well maintained. Not much road walking.
We used GPS for guidance, so we have no relevant comments on the signposting or the description, which we did not follow.

A very pleasant suburban hike, the town of Acigné has developed its spaces well, with paths along the Vilaine and Chevré rivers, accessible to residents of Rennes.
