Spring

Follow the hilly GR® to Dampierre

The GR® stage in Dampierre is a hilly playground that we love in the spring for the fresh tint of the vineyards we cross. A true concentrate of Saumurois, the walk gives grandiose glimpses of the Loire, the troglodytes on the hillsides, the wine estates or even superb mansions steeped in history.

Some freshness ! This is what this 8 km loop that crosses the charming village of Rou-Marson promises. Renowned for its castle, its troglodyte remains and its fouées, Rou-Marson is a wooded town with a remarkable historical heritage. In summer, we appreciate its pond, the atmosphere of its fountains-washhouses, or its land art course under the trees!
