    This long route mainly requires stamina but does not include any highly technical sections. Whether you tackle it in a few hours, a full day, or even over two days, you’ll pass through varied landscapes of wooded countryside and woodlands, following sunken paths, rivers, farm trails, and occasionally small roads. Enjoy stunning panoramic views, the tranquility of the Mayenne region, numerous climbs up the hillsides, a few castles, and a well-hidden natural gem that can only be discovered on foot: the Morinière Valley! Come to St. Jean-sur-Mayenne in your RV or spend a night in a historic lockhouse (Les Refuges du Halage) to fully enjoy the route; a small campground dedicated to RVs is available for vacationers, offering views of the Mayenne River. And if you feel like cycling, paddling, or just unwinding: head to Les Petits Guidons along the towpath—they’ll have everything you need to wrap up your day or extend your local adventure! ROUTE AND MARKING INFO: The routes are regularly updated—be sure to download them often!
    Marking Guidelines: Retro-reflective white markers are placed at every change of direction (on a post, street furniture, a tree when no other options are available, using a technique that doesn’t damage the tree or hinder its growth—stainless-steel screws in the bark or sapwood with room for growth);

    If you can’t find any markers at a junction, keep going straight ahead (just like when hiking); If you’re unsure (a marker may have been removed or hidden by vegetation), go back a few meters to check and follow the track on the app or your watch.

    Please feel free to report any issues or other useful information (fallen trees, trash, overgrown vegetation, construction) to us via the app or by email.
