Walking

By mountain bike

The Sentier des Moulins is a fairly physical course due to its distance and its elevation. However, it is ideal for clearing your head and reconnecting with nature. The banks of Lac du Jaunay with their diversity of natural environments are the ideal place to observe different animal and plant species.
