The event in a few words

In Villars, in the Loire, La Villardaire offers you a walk that mixes city, nature and forest—the perfect combo to clear your head without wearing out your legs 🚶‍♂️.

You choose your adventure: 11 km to treat yourself, 12 km to stretch your stride a bit (promise, we’re staying in walking mode), or 17 km to tell yourself “okay, now I’m really doing my Villardaire” 🌲.

And after the effort, you can extend the fun just steps from the start: a trip to Saint-Étienne for the Cité du Design, a detour to the Museum of Art and Industry, a stroll around the Parc de l’Europe, or a stop by the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium for a souvenir photo (even without cleats, it works) 🏛️.

Come solo, as a duo, or with the family: you’ll leave with lungs full of fresh air, a head full of stories, and the urge to come back… because in Villars, we don’t just walk, we villars a little too! 😄
