Hiking - The Sarthe towpath and Sablières
Opposite Ile Saint-Aubin, here's a walk to discover the banks of the Sarthe and the flora and fauna typical of the Basses vallées angevines. Landscapes of moorland and woodland, enhanced by ponds surrounded by broom, provide the perfect backdrop for long walks.
The Pass'Sarthe ferry across the Sarthe between Écouflant and Cantenay-Épinard is in operation on the weekends of September 6-7 and 13-14.
Tourist attractions :
- The 6-kilometer towpath along the Sarthe bears witness to the era of river transport, with remains of ancient bollards and footbridges.
- Swimming, lounging and picnicking await you at the Parc des Sablières. Landscapes of moorland and woodland stretch over almost 60 hectares, with ponds surrounded by broom.
Facilities available:
- Toilets near the town hall
- Picnic tables in the Parc des Sablières and on the banks of the Sarthe.
Practical information :
- Public transport stop less than 500m from starting point
- Trail not passable during flood periods
