Between the Loire and the Hillsides 2027

If you love trails that smell of the Loire, views that make you want to slow down just to take it all in, and that vibe where you quickly feel like a local, Between the Loire and the Hillsides in Ancenis is exactly your playground 🏞️.

Here, you go from the gentle riverside to the little rises of the hillsides, with nature spots and quiet stretches by the water—like a big breath of fresh air, Pays de la Loire-style 🚣.

As for formats, you choose your adventure: 11 km to treat yourself without burning out, 16 km to stretch the outing, 21 km for a real getaway, or 34 km to chase that “wow” all the way to the end… and come back with a story to tell 😅.

After the finish, stick around: take a break at the Château d’Ancenis, go stretch your legs along the banks of the Loire at sunset, cross over to Île Delage for a nature break, or head to the Ancenis bridge for that postcard-perfect view over the river 🌅.

And if you’re coming as a pair or with family, you can keep it going with a little stroll along the water, a moment by a nearby pond, or a drink on a terrace in the town center: here, we run between the Loire and the hillsides… and recover between pleasure and scenery 🍹.
