Le Train des Mines – 23.49 Kms / Laval
Le Train des Mines – a signposted N°4 green route, ideal for discovering gravel and the history of coal mining, leaving from the Halte fluviale and the Guinguette in Laval.
After passing through the narrow streets of Avesnières, the route joins the Bois de l’Huisserie, then follows a series of small roads, forest tracks and meadows to the Laval-Renazé greenway. Pass through the old mine road, Montigné-le-Brillant, the Vicoin, the old Port-Sec station, then the greenway to the Coupeau site, offering superb panoramic views and the possibility of an overnight stay.
Return to Laval via tracks and paths, with a final technical descent before a well-deserved break at the Guinguette.
The Far West! – 86.36 Kms / Le Genest-Saint-Isle
A long and demanding gravel route, starting from Le Genest-Saint-Isle (or from any point along the route). Sunken paths, forest tracks and minor roads follow one another for a truly varied adventure, with technical and physical sections alternating with rolling sections.
Along the way, you’ll pass through villages in the Mayenne region, from Bourgon to the mining towns of Saint-Pierre-la-Cour and Port-Brillet. Possible stops include Cornesse farm and Clermont Abbey.
An alternative route is being studied via the Brûlatte and Port-Brillet woods.
Bleu de Chauffe ! – 47.13 Kms / L’Huisserie
This route can start from the small town of L’Huisserie to take advantage of the shops before or after. It can also start at the river stop in Laval.
Shared with green route No. 1 from the start to the Bois de l’Huisserie, this route can be shared at the start and then split up for people with different outing plans.
It takes in the towpath, the Huisserie woods, some pretty hamlets and the riverside finish.
You’ll be riding on a beautiful alternation of paths, tracks, small roads well-suited to gravel and greenways that we don’t want to leave!
The Bleu de Chauffe, like the Train des Mines, refers to the mining and industrial past of the villages of L’Huisserie, Montigné and even Saint Berthevin and its lime kilns.
The Gravelais! – 46.26 Kms / Loiron-Ruillé
A little Gravel nugget, this 6th route!
A well-balanced sequence of paths, rolling tracks and very small roads!
The countryside of the Pays de Loiron is yours to explore without difficulty… ideal for discovering or enjoying!
Chaux in front! – 63.27 km / Louverné
Leaving from the centre of Louverné, this route allows you to take a coffee break (or whatever!) before or after your ride in one of the local shops. This route is a real compendium of what you’re looking for in a Gravel racer: you’ll ride on smooth paths, narrow roads and short stretches of perfectly passable footpaths. But be careful in winter.
There are many points of interest, some of which are well worth a visit, such as the Echologia site and the listed village of Parné-sur-Roc. The end of the route on the banks of the Jouanne is particularly bucolic and will make you forget the not always very smooth surface!
The route passes through a number of other villages, including Bonchamp, Forcé and Argentré, making it well worth a visit or a well-deserved stopover.
Chaud Devant Discovery! – 36.86 kms / Louverné
A short route taken from the great unmarked “Chaux Devant” route, available only on the app.
