Saint-Calais-du-Désert: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Hiking and trails
The Boucle des Moulins is a hike in the Mayenne Valley. Its route runs 75 % along unpaved paths and crosses the Mayenne via an iron footbridge; horse riders can use a ford instead.
The route follows the former millrace that once supplied the Moulin Arrondeau grain mill. The Saint-Calais-du-Désert valley is also home to old mills mentioned in connection with the GR® de Pays Tour du Mont des Avaloirs.
The GR® de Pays Tour du Mont des Avaloirs is a 100-kilometre hiking trail for which stages of three, four or five days are planned.
Renting a holiday apartment in Saint-Calais-du-Désert is one possible way to plan a stay in this location.
