The Colmont valley is one of the most picturesque areas of the Mayenne. If you're a keen walker, there are many footpaths in the area, covering all distances. In Ambrières-les-Vallées, you'll find the towpath, well known as the Vélofrancette, voted best cycle route, with its own cycle paths covering almost 100% of the route.
