Castle loop through the Forêt de Perseigne

The ride

From Arçonnay, this 78.6 km loop rolls out through the Normandie-Maine nature reserve and on past the La Briante river. Further along you pass the Château des ducs d'Alençon and the Château d'Aillières, with a stretch through the Forêt de Perseigne before the ride brings you back to where you started. The route is fully paved, so it's all on tarmac from start to finish.
