LES GAGNERIES

In Saint-Malo-de-Guersac, the gagnerie is an exemplary feature of the centre of the island. This 5km walk invites you to discover it, its small heritage and the picturesque views it offers over the surrounding Brière.

Departure: Port de Rozé.
Accessible to families with young children

In spring and summer, the gagnerie was used to grow cereals such as wheat, which was then milled in the mills on the larger islands.
In order to maximise the use of the small open space that was generally made up of the "gagneries", these were devoid of trees and hedges, and the plots were marked out by boundary stones.
