St-Méen-le-Grand / Ploërmel
After visiting the interactive museum « Tous à vélo avec Louison Bobet », dedicated to one of France’s most famous cyclists, head for St-Onen-la-Chapelle. A quiet road leads to Mauron to join the busiest greenway in Brittany. The local red sandstone makes the architecture around here stand out. At Mauron, continue along the greenway. This stage is for moderately experienced cyclists.
