GRP®Tour de Brière
"And everywhere waved the great reeds, home to wild birds.
From far and wide, this jungle let pale ponds glow.
Then islands reappear, then reeds form again, then other waters reappear and the Brière seems to have no end...".
(Alphonse de Chateaubriant, La Brière, 1923).
Rediscover the aquatic atmosphere described by Chateaubriant by walking this emblematic route through the Brière marshes.
A 67km loop to be explored on foot, mountain bike or horseback.
You'll pass meadows, cross canals and catch glimpses of the vastness of the reed beds.
Cows and horses graze freely on the marshes: remember to keep the fences closed.
All along the route, the signposts are recognisable by their red and yellow stripes.
