This part of the greenway is really in a pitiful state. Holes, stones, moss.... the other part up to Fougères is new.

The Sélune, 84 km long, ends its journey in the English Channel. It is one of the few rivers where migrating salmon come up the river from the sea to complete their life cycle.

Montgommery Castle was rebuilt in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle took the name of the Montgommery family. Famous, Gabriel I of Montgommery, owner of the castle, took part in the rue Saint-Antoine tournament and, by bad luck, mortally wounded King Henri II in the eye. Interestingly, this did not result in his own death. It was his conversion to Protestantism that led to his execution and the confiscation of his castle. Two years after his death, Henry III authorized Gabriel I de Montgommery's son, Gabriel II, to reoccupy the castle.
