Hiking Ille-Et-Vilaine

This 6.5 km hiking trail runs along the coastline between the Guesclin beach and the Pointe du Grouin. Walk around the Pointe du Nid with your best walking shoes and a water bottle. Walk on the cove of the Orchard: you will only have to cross a point and a beach to reach the Pointe du Grouin. You will then discover a magnificent panorama on the bay of the Mont-Saint-Michel and on the Landes island, home of colonies of gulls and cormorants.

The Maison de la Baie introduces the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, its ecosystem as well as the mussel culture on bouchot via its mytili-mobile (tractor with trailer) and a permanent exhibition. For that, it organizes discovery walks, made on reservation (from 4 to 6 hours). Professional guides are in charge of commenting and securing the outing. Equip yourself with appropriate clothing and find out about the different hikes: you can choose an outing adapted to your interests and your walking skills (8 to 25 km).

The Forêt forest would have sheltered King Arthur, Merlin and the Fairy. Many hiking trails go through its 9 000 hectares in search of evidence of this mystical past. This is the case of the Fées Country Trail, starting from the hamlet of Folle-Thought. You will see on the road the 10-year-old Chêne oak, measuring nearly metres of circumference; Le Rocher du Pas de la Goat, place of worship for the druids; and the fountain of Barenton, where Merlin and Viviane met. Beware, the circuit is closed during hunting.
