As you pass through Briollay, take a look at the educational marsh and enjoy a magnificent view of the Basses vallées angevines and its wetlands, which are flooded for part of the year. As you slalom between the different river banks, you'll finally make out the Engrenage-moulin de Villevêque in the distance, the finish line where you can refresh yourself at the Les Tonnelles guinguette.
