On foot a slow, sensitive approach

In the Vignoble Nantais, along the valleys of the Sèvre and Maine rivers, there is a long-distance footpath that invites you to get out and about. The GR® de Pays Sèvre et Maine – Boucle du Vignoble runs from Nantes to Boussay along the Sèvre Nantaise, and from Nantes to Remouillé along the Maine.

This103km loop,marked in yellow and red, forms a veritable backbone to which many local loops are linked. It passes through contrasting landscapes: rivers, vineyards and wine-growing villages. The route changes with the seasons, between the freshness of the riverbanks and the changing colours of the vineyards.
