Around Chevré lake
Departure from La Bouëxière (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A short trail in Brittany’s countryside with a section along the Veuvre that winds before flowing into Chevré lake. Do not miss the small Roman bridge with its stone arches.
Servon-sur-Vilaine (castle, river and mill)
Departure from Servon-sur-Vilaine (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A pretty, easy, well-marked walk passing by a chapel, the Château du Gué, the Ancienne Fonderie de Servon-sur-Vilaine, the Oratoire Saint-Mathurin, the Vilaine, the old mill, the protected Pas Davy site, the greenhouses (mainly tomatoes) and the calvary. The return journey takes you along a leafy driveway through a housing estate.
Forêt de Rennes: Juteauderies circular
Departure from Liffré (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A short hike in the Rennes forest along shady forest lines and paths through the forest alongside the Caleuvre stream. This easy trail is particularly beautiful in early spring, when the beech trees have young, light-green leaves, or in autumn, when the leaves have turned yellow and red.
It takes you along the old water supply line that brought water from the Minette (a tributary of the Couesnon) to Rennes.
Sightseeing tour of Vitré
Departure from Vitré (Ille-et-Vilaine)
Stroll through the historical heart of Vitré, city of art and history, with its medieval streets and alleys.
Wander in quest of the heritage wonders with this trail.
A true escape through history and the vitréen "art de vivre".
End the walk by a visit of the medieval castle and its museum before going back to the starting point.
Follow the description rather than the GPX tracks.
The 11 locks and 7 mills of Hédé
Departure from Hédé (Ille-et-Vilaine)
Circuit exploring the 11 locks of the Canal d’Ille-et-Rance.
Boël Trail (Sentier du Boël)
Departure from Guichen (Ille-et-Vilaine)
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®.
