Day 1

Lace up your trainers after arriving at the campsite and set off to walk the paths of the 100 hectares of the Gayeulles Park. There are 4 and 6 kilometre jogging routes, where you can admirer the richness of the park’s flora and fauna. Opposite the campsite there is also a large accrobranching park where you can hit the tree tops and overcome your fear of heights. If it rains, Le Blizz, the region’s only double-track skating rink, is situated only 500 metres from the campsite, offering you numerous activities throughout the year.

Day 4
Redon and La Gacilly

To the south-west of Rennes, along the Ille-et-Rance canal, you arrive in Redon. At the convergence of several rivers, Redon offers numerous river walks through wild, secluded valleys.

For motor sport lovers, visit the Manor of the Automobile and Old Trades in Lohéac. And even better, treat yourself to a circuit driving course!
