Walking in Brittany
Walking
On the doorstep of our gites at La Cour you can enjoy a gentle stroll through woodlands and around small lakes, the area surrounding the gites is designated a protected natural habitat. Follow the local River Vilaine as it meanders across open fields and past picturesque hamlets & villages. You could spend a month walking in the Loire Atlantique and Southern Brittany and never cross the same path. There are 7000 miles of paths consisting of 800 walks that make their way through unspoilt countryside, across deep forests, follow grand rivers and along the seashore.
The Pays de Redon area is rich with protected natural areas and offers the perfect place to explore on foot...
