Tresbœuf walks

This unmarked route will allow you to explore the southern part of the village of Tresbœuf. It also follows paths through the villages of Lalleu and La Bosse-de-Bretagne. A few paths have escaped land consolidation, but despite this, half of the route is tarmac. Panoramic views will allow you to appreciate a whole array of wind turbines as well as the hedgerow landscape.

A tour around the village of Sel-de-Bretagne, allowing you to enjoy the rural paths preserved thanks to the efforts of Eugène Aulnette, a historic figure in the village. You will also pass by the Sainte-Anne Chapel, restored and decorated by this sculptor together with the villagers, and the menhirs found in the village.

I suggest you discover this charming little town and its lake in an original way, by taking the small side roads. Small change due to a ban on crossing the small wood next to the Moulin de Bertaud.

Straddling the municipalities of Pancé, Poligné and Pléchâtel, the Tertre Gris site is steeped in history: geological, historical, industrial and environmental. Seven discovery stations are located along the path near the banks of the Semnon. You will be able to read the landscape from the viewpoint, understand the "Volcano" and the geology of the Tertre, and savour its legends (at the summit and at the foot of the volcano).Please note that this route is not signposted.

Rougé takes its name from the colour of the soil. Set off to explore the iron route, which partly follows the old railway line through the Brutz valley, crossing landscapes of moorland and hedgerows. You will see the site of the old iron mines, which were worked by the Celts and Gallo-Romans. You will notice the red colour of some of the paths, a sign of the presence of iron ore in the region. The same is true, in places, of the water in the streams.

Le Theil-de-Bretagne is a predominantly rural commune with a rich architectural, religious and natural heritage. The Résidence Bon Abri, the Notre-Dame de Beauvais Chapel, listed as a historic monument, the Château de La Rigaudière and the church with its patriotic stained-glass windows are just a few examples. This hike takes us through the countryside around Le Theil-de-Bretagne, where we can discover a landscape of hedgerows and orchards as we stroll along, enjoying the peace and quiet and gentle way of life.

The route starts at the Roche aux Fées dolmen, the best-preserved iconic monument in Europe. The walk takes you through meadows and fields, perfect for relaxation. The crossing of Theil-de-Bretagne is fairly short, so you can take the opportunity to stop at the wash house park. The route continues through the hamlet of La Rigaudiére and the pond of the same name.

Route between Bourg-des-Comptes and Pléchâtel. Along the way, you will see four châteaux of different styles, periods and states of preservation: "Gai Lieu", "La Molière", "Le Boschet" and "Mont Rive". Thefifth, "Le Hamonay", is almost invisible.

A very pleasant walk between forest and lake with no difficulty except, for some, the distance. After enjoying the tranquillity of the Araize Forest at the start, you will then experience the calm and serenity of the Étang de la Forge lake.

From the charming village of Saint-Senoux, head towards the banks of the Vilaine, first following the Voie Verte and then the other bank overlooking it to discover the green countryside.Some sections are a little challenging, mainly in the southern circular loop (between (4) and (7)). But the panoramic views that greet walkers make it all worthwhile.

This area, aptly named Pays des Vallons de Vilaine (Land of the Vilaine Valleys), offers a rugged topography that is almost unique in the department and will delight hiking enthusiasts. The La Trotinais route has a total elevation gain of almost 200 metres. The village of Saint-Senoux and its 19th-century parish church of Saint-Abdon, as well as the hamlets of La Trotinais and La Fiolais, are well worth a visit.

A very pleasant path, partly under the trees and along the left bank of the Quincampoix, leads you into the Parc du Château de Piré, the former grounds of an 18th-century château. You will be able to see the Château des Pères, now a gourmet restaurant. The park is a departmental nature reserve. You will finish by walking through the village of Piré-sur-Seiche

This is a beautiful circular that partly follows theGR®39along charming paths. The return journey is along the towpath, going up the Vilaine. This path takes you through beautiful landscapes, typical villages, charming residences and locks, and ends up running alongside this river, which is so poorly named.

After walking along small asphalt country roads, it is a pleasure to find yourself on these green paths surrounded by magnificent trees, first along the Seiche and then the Quincampoix.

A pleasant route in Châteaubriant, passing by places for relaxation and leisure, ponds, the château... This small town of 12,000 inhabitants has many charming and enjoyable aspects to discover.

Pont Péan still bears traces of its former mining activity.A silver lead (or galena) mine was operated there from 1730 to 1797 and from 1844 to 1904.This route allows you to see some remains of this activity and to tour the village near the Tellé stream on the edge of the urban and rural areas.

A very pleasant hike. First section at the top of cliffs, with lovely views over the Vilaine river and the site "Moulin du Boël". Cross a shady woodland, then return along the towpath. To avoid as much as possible passing along the military site's fence ("Le Celar"), this new description uses a slightly more technical part of the GR®.

An easy route, which takes you to the outskirts of Pont-Péan through the countryside and back along the Seiche. Just be careful of cars when crossing the N137 (two four-lane carriageways to cross). Please note: access to the Seiche may be restricted during periods of high water and flooding.

A peaceful, shaded walk through the heart of the Bois de Cicé, taking you past numerous ponds lined with facilities for anglers and walkers. Please note, it will be difficult to get through certain sections with a pushchair. If you prefer more accessible paths, it is best to take the central path, which leads to the towpath. The ponds originated from a former gravel pit that supplied building materials to the city of Rennes.
