Discover Chailland, Mayenne, Pays de la Loire

The circuit goes through a region with a tormented relief to go towards the valley of the Sélune from Le Teilleul. This circuit takes the old road from Rennes to Domfront, a route used by pilgrims in the Middle Ages to reach the Mont Saint-Michel. A little further on is the ascent of the Montécot mound. This coppice, essentially made up of chestnut tree saplings, was of economic use in the past. Thus, the peasants came to get wood for the strapping of their barrels. The circuit then follows for about 6 km, the old railway line linking Mortain, Barenton and Domfront to then take small roads and sunken paths.

Departing from Saint Mars d'Egrenne this 24-km circuit is a great idea for a bike ride with friends or family to discover the Orne bocage.

Mortain, the green heart of the Normandy bocage, crossroads of the Vélomaritime and the Véloscénie, rises from the hillsides. This stage of the Véloscénie is an exclusive greenway, except for the inevitable link to Mortain.

By taking this route, you will cross the Vallée de l'Airon which offers beautiful views of the Mortainais and join the Vallée de la Sélune.

Departing from the Medieval city of Domfront, and passing through Lonley l’Abbaye, this 30-km bike ride will take you through mysterious and secret sites where there’s a scent of legend in the air.

Discover the modifications carried out over the course of time to the castle, which retained its defensive role until the 16th century.

In the 19th century, photographers, writers and painters travelling in Domfront fell in love with these awe-inspiring landscapes. In the town, follow the medieval traces of the city: the crafts and shops, the power and the houses of public figures, the trade and the rampart doors.
