About

In Gétigné, next to Clisson, this trail takes the old royal road and goes down to the Sèvre Nantaise. The route reaches the Gatz cross along a farm track, then a sunken lane leads to the Sèvre, which you follow through meadows to the Hucheloup footbridge. A 1,200 m out-and-back detour lets you see the chapel of Sainte-Anne. You then climb back towards the Gilaizeau mill and ford a stream before returning to the village centre. The loop is 10 km long; allow about 2 h 30 of walking. The stated level is medium. Start: the point marked on the map, in Gétigné. The waymarking is yellow, and yellow and red on some sections. The official route, published by the Loire-Atlantique département, is shown on the map and can be downloaded as a GPX file to follow on your phone.
