Discover Peuton

Peuton brings together nature, cultural heritage, and the offerings of a permaculture farm. For planning your trip, the Circuit des deux communes loop, the municipal pond, and the protected La Girouardière estate provide specific points of interest. La Ferme de Peuton also offers its own ways to shape your stay.

Walking trails and loop

The Circuit des deux communes au départ de Peuton is a 7.8-kilometre loop. The pedestrian route is an easy hike lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes. Allow 2 hours and 15 minutes for the 7.8-kilometre pedestrian loop; it is classified as an easy hike. Together, these details provide a practical basis for fitting the walk into your stay.

The route runs between Peuton and Marigné-Peuton; on the return to Peuton, it reaches the Sentier de la carrière. The starting point is the car park by Peuton’s municipal pond. Check the route details again before setting out, as route features may change.

The pond and other nature attractions

On 1 September 2012, Peuton’s municipal pond and walking trails were added to the Mayenne network of recognised natural sites. By the pond, there is an open-sided wooden shelter for picnics and walkers. When planning your walk, you can use the pond car park as your starting point and the shelter as a place to take a break.

Peuton also has a wetland with a raised boardwalk.

La Girouardière and its protected features

La Girouardière in Peuton was listed as a historic monument on 14 June 2002. The protection covers the entire residence, chapel, bread oven, and tower at the northern entrance. The protected area also includes the outbuilding’s façades and roofs, as well as the archaeological footprint of the former defensive system. The dates mark separate recognitions: La Girouardière was listed as a historic monument in 2002, while the pond and walking trails were added to the network of recognised natural sites in 2012.

La Ferme de Peuton

La Ferme de Peuton is a permaculture farm that offers boxes of organically grown vegetables. It also offers programmes for a stay or an immersive experience on the farm. This means that a specific product offering sits alongside programmes for a stay. If you are planning to take part in one of the programmes, check the dates and current availability in advance.

The walk, the protected estate, and the permaculture farm each have a different focus. For the walk, the distance, walking time, and difficulty level help with planning; for the farm’s programmes, you will need to check dates and availability. This lets you focus on the things that matter most for your stay in Peuton.
