The ride
Roll out of Vitré and let the ride unfold: past the castle Porte d'Embas, along the Vilaine river and into the Misedon and Gravelles forests. Three castles follow in turn — Bel-Air, Plessis and Rochers-Sévigné — with the bras mort of La Valière in between. All 71.1 km are paved, and the route brings you back to Vitré where you began.
