Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne
Châteaubriant
A (short) journey from the Mayenne valley to the medieval city of Châteaubriant, through bocage landscapes between Mayenne, Anjou and Loire-Atlantique. Following an old railroad line, this cycling itinerary entirely on greenways takes you past picturesque villages and small working-class towns. Halfway along, the "Mine Bleue" invites you to descend into the heart of an old slate mine. The trail then continues, punctuated by numerous medieval discoveries... It's an easy, car-free route, accessible to all!
