On foot a slow, sensitive approach

In the Vignoble Nantais, along the valleys of the Sèvre and Maine rivers, there is a Grande Randonnée de Pays trail 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, passing through Clisson.

Marked out in yellow and red over 103 km, this loop 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.
