Path a little narrow and on the edge of a void, not suitable for everyone

The Mere Trail winds through a picturesque landscape, offering a glimpse of the local flora and fauna. You will experience the serenity of the Mere River as you stop to enjoy the peace and quiet.

This lake is actually a reservoir resulting from the dam on the Vendée river. There are activities to do like fishing, kayaking and swimming (the water is often silty).

Among the trees and by the river you will find this magical bridge that makes you feel like you are in another world.

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.

In terms of equipment, provide for those who want to make it a fast course a mountain bike adapted to breakage and quickly arriving and individual protections appropriate to your practice (knee pad elbow pad adapted helmet) certain portions can be very fast on road links and on land courses rockery and path In any case, this course is super and very technical on certain portions but remains affordable for an athlete of average level, the jersey will surely and certainly be soaked
