A countryside tour through charming villages

- Saint Rémy-du-Val: its Maison de la Ruralité, a museum on the history of hemp, which was an important crop at the time, as well as its feudal motte, church and hemp oven below, and the Logis de Moullins, a medieval site not to be missed.
- René: its covered market (the oldest in the Sarthe), its artists' studios and its Arts Trail.
- Courgains: church, hillock and measuring instruments
- Marolles-les-Braults: its church and shops

Good to know: the Maine Saosnois Tourist Office offers electrically-assisted bicycles for hire, so you can cover this route with less effort!
Please note: when leaving Mamers, access to the Voie Verte is via a staircase with a gutter for bikes. To avoid this, take the Chemin de Bellemare to the end where it joins the Voie Verte.
