Description: 

This route takes you through the areas of St Cyr en Talmondais, La Jonchère, Le Bernard, St Hilaire la Forêt and St Vincent sur Jard.

Pour cet agréable parcours en rétro-littoral, vous passerez par de petites routes, des chemins agricoles et des bocagers, pour relier les 3 gîtes équestres: Maison Neuve, La Henrière, Bourg Paillé.

The route crosses the small "Carnac Vendéen". You will see many megaliths along the trail and nearby, especially in the village of LE BERNARD.

The path of la Henrière-Bourg Paillé (in yellow on the map) has two déviations because it isn't available for carriages.

Caution:

Dans the village of LE BERNARD, at Choisy ford (Troussepoil), the bank is sloping and facing the D21 road.

Some footpaths are impassable in rainy weather: mud, ruts, etc.

Wetland in ST HILAIRE LA FORET: the path, forbidden to motor vehicles, must be restored. It is delicate during rainy season.

ST HILAIRE LA FORET - ST VINCENT SUR JARD Ford, in the La Henrière - Bourg Paillé direction: this one, being dug in the left part of the path, is flooded by rain and the water level can be surprising. You have to go right to avoid the ford.

Remarkable sites: 
Dolmen of Frébouchère in Le Bernard
Dolmen of Savatole
