    The route is full of surprises, with stones bearing witness to ancient cults and a windmill dating back to the 16th century. By walking discreetly, lucky walkers will be able to enjoy the wildlife and the many species of birds that inhabit the Brière, such as the Crested Lapwing, a typical wading bird of the marsh with a fine crested tail and black and white plumage.

    The walk also allows you to discover the Saint-Second marshes, a protected site left in its natural state with its chapel and cross dating from 1640, as well as its garden created by the inhabitants in 1856.

    Continuing on towards the Brivet, walkers will come across the Roche Civant footbridge, a fishing spot and landing stage for the Besné canoeing and kayaking centre. The view is breathtaking and makes for a perfect moment of relaxation.

    This walk is a great opportunity to discover the hidden treasures of the Brière while enjoying its lush natural surroundings.
