La Mézière: Hiking, Culture and Leisure

La Mézière offers a variety of reasons to stay: municipal hiking routes, cultural attractions and leisure activities ranging from theatre and comics to active pursuits. When planning your trip, you can first decide whether you would like to focus mainly on outdoor routes, a cultural programme or sports-oriented activities. The options vary in length, format and participation requirements.

Hiking routes of different lengths

There are six municipal hiking routes in La Mézière. The routes listed are between 6.5 and 15.7 km long. This lets you factor the planned distance into your day and compare different lengths within the municipal selection. The Sentier de Montgerval starts in La Mézière. So if you would like to include this trail in your stay, the town is its starting point.

Building history and the Voie de la Liberté

The parish church of Saint-Martin reflects two phases of construction: the new church was consecrated in 1871 and retains the octagonal tower of the former church building. If you are interested in the town’s architectural history, the year of consecration and the surviving tower offer two distinct clues—one to the new building and the other to the former church.

La Mézière is also connected with the Voie de la Liberté: the town is listed as one of the communities along this route. Four markers of the Voie de la Liberté stand within the municipal area along the Saint-Malo–Rennes road. You can therefore find both the town’s connection to the route and specific markers along this road corridor.

Theatre and comics

La Station Théâtre offers a programme of theatre performances and theatre workshops. If you would like to combine your stay with a performance or workshop, check the dates in the relevant programme.

Case Départ is a comics literary prize organised by the La Mézière media library. Readers aged 8 to 12 can take part, provided they are registered with the Val d’Ille-Aubigné media library network. Participants vote for one to three comic titles from the selection. Participation therefore depends both on meeting the age requirement and being registered with the network.

Leisure activities in different formats

BattleKart offers karting in augmented reality on a 2,000 m² track. It combines real karts with projected virtual scenery. FunLab – BattleKart Rennes is an indoor karting track at 1 Rue de la Tordelière in La Mézière.

Airfly Bretagne offers a different experience: in a six-metre-high transparent tunnel, with wind speeds of more than 250 km/h, it simulates the flight of a skydiver. New Jump, at La Balue in La Mézière, is an indoor leisure and amusement park with trampolines. Activities include trampolining and holiday courses. Non-members of clubs can also take part; activities are available for adults and children of all ability levels.

Les Frères Jacks offers axe throwing. Certified instructors guide participants step by step, and each session begins with a thorough safety briefing. The activities thus vary considerably, from karting and flying in a wind tunnel to trampolining and instructor-led axe throwing. As configurations, operating details and participation requirements may change, check the latest information about the activities you plan to try before visiting.

Fruit picking and apple juice

Fruit production is another local feature: apples are harvested and apple juice is made in the orchards of La Mézière. This adds a glimpse of harvesting and processing to the hiking, cultural and leisure activities.
