La Cornuaille: Woodland Paths and Abbey Traces

La Cornuaille offers nature and cultural experiences at specific places and along designated routes. The wooded Parc de la Burelière and traces of a former abbey are particular highlights. A treetop adventure activity offered by Le Dédale des Cimes is located in Val d'Erdre-Auxence. To plan your visit, you can choose between a walk focused on nature, a route through changing landscapes, historic traces, and a group activity.

Parc de la Burelière and Interpretive Trail

Parc de la Burelière is a 7-hectare wooded park in La Cornuaille. The Sentier d'interprétation du Parc de la Burelière is an easy, 1.3-kilometre circular walk; about an hour is indicated for the circuit. As you walk, the trail provides information about local wildlife and plant life. With its circular format, easy rating, and approximate duration, it can be planned as a separate walk during the day. The park is open to walkers, hikers, tourists, and day-trippers. Check the current trail conditions before your visit.

Circuit de la Burelière and Changing Landscapes

The Circuit de la Burelière passes through wooded areas and then through rolling valleys and wooded ridges. Along the circuit, the Maison en Terre Rouge is one of the points of interest. This route therefore combines a succession of different landscapes with a named point of interest. When choosing between the trails, the focus is what matters: the Sentier offers an easy circular walk of about an hour with information about nature; the Circuit is defined by its sequence of landscapes. If you would like to learn more about local wildlife and plant life, the Sentier is the main option. If you would like to experience different types of landscape, the Circuit is the right reference point for your plans.

Traces of the Former Abbey

At the entrance to the intercommunal Parc de la Burelière in La Cornuaille are the gates of the former abbey. A watermill building and the priory house remain from the abbey. The gates at the park entrance and the two buildings provide several tangible points of connection to its history. The former abbey can be visited by prior reservation. If you plan a visit, confirm the arrangements in advance.

Treetop Adventure and Group Activities

In Val d'Erdre-Auxence, Le Dédale des Cimes offers treetop adventure using ropes, carabiners, harnesses, and pulleys. The activity is intended for sports enthusiasts, beginners, and people with disabilities; specific arrangements should be confirmed before booking. Le Dédale des Cimes also offers group activities that combine treetop adventure with catering. These include drinks, a snack, and locally produced appetizers. For groups, catering is therefore part of the activity alongside treetop adventure. Confirm your participation in a group activity before you arrive.
