Circuit Gravel - Angers, in the heart of the Low Anjou valleys
Leaving from Villevêque (Rives-du-Loir-en-Anjou), hop on your gravel bike for 2h30 of freedom and discovery in the heart of nature, along the Loir and Sarthe rivers.
Discover an exceptional playground where protected plants and animals have made their home, starting in Villevêque. 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.
