To have

Very nice route in the countryside between Amanlis/Piré/Janzé. Some beautiful hills.

It goes all around.

Great tour to do with the family with lots of undergrowth. Pond skirted several times. Very pleasant.

It is an artistic and cultural place. Built on the site of the feudal manor of Plessis-Guériff, the current castle dates from 1722. Partly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, it has retained a 15th century wing which is still visible today. You can explore the sculpture park and take part in artistic workshops. It is also a hotel. For all information and reservations click here: https://www.chateaudesperes.fr/en

For Gravel and MTB

This church stands in the middle of the countryside, you can see it from afar, it is magnificent! The bell tower in the form of a "bulb", characteristic of the Byzantine style, made it pass for an Orthodox church, while it is just linked to the originality of the architect in 1875. Anecdote of the German occupation: in 1941, the Nazi propaganda filmed a film there ("Threshing wheat in Ukraine") to make believe in an advance of German troops in Ukraine (against the Soviet Union). Until 2011, the church was under the patronage of St. Peter the Apostle. On this date, his patronage was changed to that of Saint-Maximilien-Kolbé (1894-1941), a Polish priest with exceptional charisma, especially in the face of Nazism. Held in the Auschwitz concentration camp, he offered himself to take the place of a father sentenced to death. He was canonized (recognized as a "saint" by the Catholic Church in Rome) in 1982.
