Discover Conlie

Conlie offers several distinct themes to explore during a stay: memorial sites and a museum, signposted walking trails, activities at the Plan d’eau and products from a farm. If you’re looking for a hotel in Conlie, you can start by considering which focus suits your travel dates. Historical sites, a walking route, time by the water or a farm market appeal to different interests. Specific place, route and timing details can help with your planning.

Memorial Sites and Museum

The Croix des Bretons memorial was erected in 1873 in Conlie cemetery. The Monument des Bretons was erected in 1913 on the Côte du Camp hill. The camp is another part of the area’s history: it was in Conlie, at the exact site of La Jaunelière. The Musée de la 2e Guerre mondiale Roger Bellon has been located in Conlie since 2001. These are several distinct points of reference: two named monuments with their own dates and locations, the precise site of the camp and a museum. These details can help you distinguish the locations when planning a cultural stay.

Comparing Walking Trails

Numerous walking trails are signposted in the Conlie area. The Circuit du camp de Conlie is an easy, 5.2 km PR walking trail; the stated duration is one hour. It leads to the Monument des Bretons, linking a specific walking route with a named memorial site. The Circuit de Verniette is an easy 6.0 km PR walking trail, and the Circuit de la forêt is an easy 5.0 km PR walking trail. The distances therefore range from 5.0 to 6.0 km; a duration is also given for the Circuit du camp.

Practical details for this route may change, so check the route information before setting out.

Plan d’eau: Sports, Picnics and Fishing

The Plan d’eau de Conlie has a picnic area, children’s play equipment, tennis and a multi-purpose sports field. These are additional recreational options in Conlie alongside the memorial sites and walking trails. Fishing is also possible at the Plan d’eau, but only on dates set by law. If fishing is part of your visit, check the applicable dates in advance.

Farm Products and Market Hours

Ferme Les Meules Fermières in Conlie sells wheat and spelt flour, as well as sourdough bread baked in a wood-fired oven. A market is held at the farm on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., except in July and August. If you’re planning to visit the market, check the specific date in advance and take the summer break into account. This lets you coordinate the market hours with your travel dates, while choosing a different focus for a walk, the Plan d’eau or the memorial sites.

The different themes offer different points to consider when making your plans: walking trails have distances and, in some cases, durations; the farm market has set hours with a seasonal exception; and fishing is subject to dates specified by law. Check the timing details relevant to your plans before your visit.
