Children's walks Half day

  1. Home
  2. Activities
  3. Walks and hikes
  4. Half-day excursions for children

Share the pleasure of exploring nature with your children! It’s possible to introduce children as young as 5/6 to hiking, over modest distances. They’ll quickly pick up the game of “scouting”: set them off in search of the yellow, red or white markers. Your little guides are sure to get ahead!

Eight short walks

With distances less than 6 kilometres, the hikes below are particularly enjoyable for families. At Gizeux, educational panels focus on trees and the forest, while at the domaine de Candé, the play areas will be a hit. As for the lac de Rillé and the étang du Louroux, birdwatching will invite you along for the ride!
