46,70 km cycling route from St-Berthevin (Laval) to Renazé

Here you follow a former railway line built to link the towns of Laval and Nantes via Châteaubriant. Its straight-lined 44km have been transformed, with a compact, hardened surface now allowing for all manner of non-motorized transport. This greenway enables you to reach interesting tourist sites easily, like the wacky Musée Robert Tatin at Cossé-le-Vivien, the classic park and Château de Craon, and the Musée de l’Ardoise et de la Géologie (on local geology and slate-mining) at Renazé.
