The circuit is extendable on the left bank of the lake
This circuit runs along the banks of the Vilaine for more than 10 km, passing through Bourgon, on the borders of Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine. Its name "Le champ dolent" refers to a television series produced by Hervé Baslé in 2002. Indeed, the meadow overlooking the Vilaine au Bois-Frétier served as a filming location for a fresco evoking the evolution of rural life in a century. The narrator has chosen this "field of pain" to entrust a menhir with the story of his family, in the course of an inevitable social and technological revolution. The menhir, in synthetic resin has since been erected at the entrance of the town, in memory of the film.
