About

In Le Bignon, this long loop varies the atmosphere, from shade to light, by linking small loops and farm tracks on the northern edge of the town. It passes very close to the market gardens that have made Nantes lamb’s lettuce and lily of the valley famous. The hamlets crossed, with their tiled roofs, are typical of the south Loire landscape, and the open views to the north and east recall the nearby Nantes vineyards. The loop is 19.1 km long; allow about 4 h 45 of walking. The stated level is difficult. Start: the point marked on the map, in Le Bignon. The waymarking is yellow. 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.
