Le Far Ouest - Gravel

A route for mile-hungry fans!

Starting from Le Genest Saint Ilse (or wherever you like on the trail), you'll travel through the region on sunken lanes, forest tracks and back roads!

A real gravel course with a good proportion and a succession of different types of terrain!

Several sections are technically and physically demanding. Fortunately, these sections alternate with stretches of minor roads, allowing you to relax and watch the kilometres go by. Don't forget to book in advance for a visit to the Cornesse farm (for a refreshment) or for a paying but very interesting visit to Clermont Abbey, which can be a dream stopover.

You'll pass through many small Mayenne villages, including Bourgon, on the edge of Brittany, as well as mining towns such as Saint Pierre la Cour and Port Brillet, which offer a rich architectural and historical heritage!

A variant of this route is under consideration to cross the Bois de la Brûlatte and Port Brillet (subject to the hunting season and private ownership).
