The GR®365 long-distance hiking trail crosses the Marches of Brittany to reach the Anjou region, stretching from the Croix du Palais in La Chapelle-Janson to Durtal. This path follows the former buffer zone between the Duchy of Brittany and the Kingdom of France, a territory once dotted with fortified towns and customs posts. Castles, manor houses, and ancient churches bear witness to its rich history. Durtal, the final destination, is renowned for its medieval castle overlooking the town and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. Hikers can also discover remarkable natural sites, such as the banks of the Loire River. The landscapes between the Sarthe and Maine-et-Loire departments are characterized by gentle hillsides, lush vineyards, and productive orchards.
