サンコロンバンのおすすめランニングルート

Here, a certain Marie Lorteau (aged 8) is said to have had a conversation with the Virgin. This apparition, although not recognized by the Church, seems to still be celebrated because the site is very well maintained. Returning to cycling, I advise against the trails that head north through the Cailleries wetland nature reserve. Flooded in winter and overgrown with brambles in summer. I won't try it a third time.

I went there to take a dip but the site was littered with rubbish (cake wrappers, chips, candy, tissues, McDonald's bags, pizza boxes, etc.) right down to the water. Exceptional because it was the day after the music festival or just a habit? Sunday was also packed with people (obviously)

Great running loop

It is possible to go around the lake by bike

In 1882, in a hamlet in the south of Loire-Inférieure (old name of Loire Atlantique), at the limit of the Vendée department, the Blessed Virgin Mary "appeared" to a very poor 8-year-old child: Marie Lorteau. These apparitions, not yet recognized by the Church, will give rise to worship and a pilgrimage that will bring together up to 3000 people at the height of popular fervor. Even now, the place remains very well maintained and gives rise to some prayer gatherings. More prosaically, the road that leads there makes its way through the grove and is very pleasant for cycling.

Ideal stop for a refueling break.
