The route is in the commune of Aslonnes, between the Jardin du Prieuré de Laverré, the springs and the dolmen. With this route mapped out on Visorando, you will often be off the beaten track, so there are no signposts.

Ménigoute has become famous worldwide thanks to FIFO, the ornithological film festival, the38th edition of which took place in late October/early November 2022. The hike (inspired by a hike posted on the Saint-Martin Loisirs association website) follows theGR®®364trail along steep, sometimes narrow paths. You have to use the road, first the D21 (for 900 m) and then the D58 (for 600 m), where you should take care.

For the second year running, the International Ornithological Film Festival is hosting an outdoor exhibition along the paths around the village of Ménigoute. Set off to explore the small sunken paths that surround the village. Fifty photos are spread over a 2.9 km route through the bocage. Pollarded trees, streams, meadows and hedges will surround you along the way. Follow the arrows! Be sure to wear suitable footwear and clothing.

A short hike near Ménigoute, with beautiful monuments such as the Gothic Boucard Chapel and the Château de Montifault, which also offers beautiful landscapes thanks in particular to the chirons (the local name for granite boulders).
