Yvré-l'Évêque walks

During this hike, you will have the opportunity to admire the Yvré countryside, its Roman bridge, the Gérence fountain and catch a glimpse of the beautiful Château de Vaux as you walk along the trails and part of the "Boulevard Nature".

Walk along the sunken paths on the outskirts of Le Mans.

Since 2003, the "Old Mans" has been called "Cité Plantagenêt" after the Plantagenêt dynasty, the English royal family originally from Le Mans. The former provincial capital of Maine and Perche (from the 16th century to the Revolution), this stroll through the streets and alleys of Le Mans' historic district offers a pleasant walk in the natural setting of famous swashbuckling films (Cyrano de Bergerac, Le Bossu, The Man in the Iron Mask, Nicolas Le Floch, etc.).

Immerse yourself in picturesque countryside just a stone's throw from Le Mans. A varied route, almost entirely off-road (95% of the route), through rolling countryside dotted with hedgerows and beautiful views. Blue markings.

This path, marked in Red, uses paths for around 70% of its length. It takes in the eastern part of the village, passing through the green space of the Ruisseau de la Bujerie, the Chemin des Hauts Bois, which leads to one of the highest points in the village (112 m), the place known as Les Basses Epines, as well as stretches of wooded paths and field margins.

This route owes its name to the shape of its route, which evokes the silhouette of a leprechaun for dreamers. It offers a path between Jalais, a bocage plain on the Soulitré side, and the Huisne valley.

The route runs across agricultural land south of the Rhonne valley and ends by crossing an area of moorland adjacent to the Bercé Forest.

The route through the countryside around Tuffé takes us to the Château de Chéronne and the church of Saint-Denis-des-Coudrais. The Chéronne, which feeds the Tuffé lake, crosses and recrosses the sunken paths several times. This route is best enjoyed in good weather as the dirt tracks can be quite wet.

This circular route links Chérisay and Bourg-le-Roi. It will introduce you to both natural heritage and rare architectural heritage.

This route will allow you to discover the commune of Saint-Georges-le-Gaultier, located in the canton of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles. You will discover nature and heritage: church, viaduct, archaic crosses, etc.

An easy loop in the Pays Gesnois, with 80% of the route on dirt tracks, including some pretty sunken lanes. A few heritage sites to discover: the wash house on Rue de Liberté, the church, Place de la Maréchalerie, the Château de Vaux and the Aune Durand wash house in La Roche.

From the banks of the Sarthe to the animal park on the Narbonne Plateau, this route offers all the charm of a mountain hike. Its steep paths, scree slopes, the small stream winding its way through the valley, the panoramic views... The Misère Valley, Haut-Fourché, Manoir de l'Linthe and the village of Saint-Léonard-des-Bois confirm this impression. A visit to the church and two typical houses rounds off this route, 98% of which is on dirt tracks.

Discover Bellême, a Petite Cité de Caractère® (Small Town of Character), on this tour that highlights its rich heritage. Bellême charms visitors with its unique architecture, where the harmony between limestone and ochre and pink sand plaster, typical of Perche-style buildings, gives this town its incomparable charm.

A lovely walk in the beautiful Bellême national forest, where you can admire the Étang de la Herse lake and its fountain.

The meandering Sarthe route takes you through the Alpes Mancelles from Saint-Léonard-des-Bois via Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France.

In the heart of the Alpes Mancelles, discover this hike in an exceptional natural setting: the Canyon des Toyères. Between Sarthe and Mayenne, discover landscapes where nature reigns supreme.
