About

Starting from the Rochelets district, the Boivre trail joins the coastal path and runs along the protected dunes of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. It reaches the Pierre Attelée forest, the last preserved coastal forest on the Côte de Jade. Further on, the Boivre marsh, a former sea inlet filled with silt and cut off from the sea by a dune, attracts many birds in every season. The loop is 12.7 km long; allow about 3 hours of walking. The stated level is medium. Start: the Rochelets district, in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. 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. The route is only passable in the dry season.
