About

On the edge of the Brière, this trail in Herbignac starts at the foot of the Château de Ranrouët, a romantic setting steeped in history. The walk crosses the forest, at its most colourful in autumn, then follows paths and lanes to typical villages. In the clearings, hamlets appear whose roofs are sometimes thatched with reeds from the nearby marsh: the architecture of the thatched cottages and the atmosphere of the Brière marsh make the walk special. The loop is 8.3 km long; allow about 2 hours of walking. The stated level is easy. Start: the foot of the Château de Ranrouët, in Herbignac. 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.
